The past year proved fruitful for numerous investors, with substantial gains in the stock market. In 2024, with two months already behind us, optimism is exceptionally high, especially within the technology sector.

In light of the favorable trends witnessed in the previous months, Finbold has pinpointed three stocks expected to maintain strong performance in March.

Although these stocks might be less well-known, their technical and fundamental indicators and analyst ratings indicate promising prospects.

Mastercard (NYSE: MA)

Mastercard (NYSE: MA) is one of the world’s leading credit card and payment service providers. In the fourth quarter, Mastercard recorded impressive figures, with a 13% increase in revenue, an 11% rise in net income, and a 10% growth in gross dollar volume.

Mastercard’s advantage lies in its involvement in multiple layers of financial transactions within payment ecosystems. This positioning suggests that its payment volume growth is poised to surpass consumer spending growth by a considerable margin in the upcoming years.

Moving ahead, industry experts and analysts express strong optimism about the company, with their 12-month stock price targets reaching as high as $549, indicating a 15.18% increase from the current valuation of MA stock.
