Better Buy: Mastercard vs. Square
Mastercard (NYSE: MA) and Square (NYSE: SQ) have crushed the market in recent years. Even after a sudden and steep fall recently, global payment processor Mastercard is up almost 170% in the past three years. Square, a fast-growing fintech company, is up almost 370% over the same period. Their gains compare to the S&P 500's increase of about 26% (through March 3).
Both companies reported strong fourth-quarter results and seem positioned for future growth. But which is the better buy for the next three to five years? Let's take a look.
