Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA) is seeking acquisitions. Sachin Mehra, Chief Financial Officer of Mastercard, said that ‘Our view around acquisitions and M&A is no different now than it was during COVID and pre-COVID. It will start and well over start with strategy is what is it we're trying to achieve from a strategic standpoint?

Do we have the toolkit necessary? If we don't have the tool kit are we going to build it? Are we going to buy it?

Are we going to partner? If we decide that buying is the right way to go, we'll go into exactly what you said, which is acquisitions. People oftentimes say, well, theoretically, can't you always build everything which is out there?

And the answer is, yes, theoretically, you can, but you need to be fast to market on certain capabilities, which is why we've been acquisitive in the past, we will continue to be acquisitive in the future'.
