Did the net cash from operating activities of Mastercard for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 come to at or above 51.0% of its revenue?
Divide the net cash from operating activities by the revenue that Mastercard reports for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 in its 10-Q or 10-K filing on SEC EDGAR. The answer is yes if the ratio is at or above 51.0%; no if it is below 51.0%.
If the source is late or silent: If Mastercard has not filed by November 16, 2026, or a filing restates a period the rule reads, the test is inconclusive, and the Result says what was read and what was missing.
