Capital structure of Mastercard, Q3 FY26: debt of $23.9B against book equity of $6.7B.

Debt to equity 3.55× Net debt to EBITDA 0.61× Interest coverage 26.19× Return on invested capital 92.9% Cost of debt, after tax 3.1% Book values as of Sep 30, 2026.

EBIT, EBITDA, interest and tax are the last four quarters, Oct 1, 2025 to Sep 30, 2026. The cost of equity, the weighted average cost of capital and the value creation spread need the share price, beta and a risk-free rate, which the filing does not carry. They stay empty rather than estimated.
