Mastercard (MA) Lower Following Data On Upcoming Visa IPO

February 25, 2008 3:45 PM EST
Shares of Mastercard (NYSE: MA) are under pressure today in response to data about the upcoming mega-IPO of rival Visa (NYSE: V).

In an amended IPO filing with the SEC today, Visa revealed it will look to sell 406 million shares at a price between $37-$42 per share. Two i-bank heavyweights, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, are leading the massive offering.

Shares of Mastercard are off the lows of the day, but still down 2.5% on the session. Some investors could exit positions in Mastercard to grab a stake in the Visa IPO. While this may only amount to a few investors, the fear that it could happen has others selling and asking questions later.
