Mastercard stock edges lower after-hours as Morgan Stanley sticks with “overweight” call

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 6:24 PM EST — After-hours Mastercard (MA.N) shares slipped about 0.1% to $579.92 in after-hours trade on Wednesday, pausing after a 2.1% jump in the prior session that left the stock near recent highs.

New York, January 7, 2026, 18:07 EST — After-hours Coinbase Global shares slid 1.8% to $245.93 in after-hours trading on Wednesday, after ranging between $240.35 and $251.62.
