It reports Friday. Every time it reports, the stock takes a hit that day, but AXP has had a juggernaut run in recent years.

A bit more credit risk than other names. All the credit card companies are good, but he prefers and owns Visa.

She just trimmed AmEx as part of typical prudent portfolio management. She bought this in 2019 at 14x PE and is now at 19x PE with 13% earnings growth for the next two years. If the market hits volatility, she's perfectly fine taking a little money off the table.

Does not own shares, but does own Mastercard. Overall, a strong sector with move towards cashless society. Well positioned for the future. Would recommend holding.

Wall Street got their quarter wrong again. It hit $286, a new high, last Thursday, but tumbled 2.19% today. Revenues were in-line at 6% in their total spending in their cards, and expenses were 9% YOY, but below estimates, and they beat EPS, but they slightly trimmed their full-year revenue growth forecast, but Millennials/GenZ spending is up 12% YOY, the Boomers are flat while GenX is 4%. Delinquencies look good, not that bad. Wall Street didn't like their gradual slowdown in revenue growth.

Reported today but shares are down. They are being conservative. The US consumer was +12%, card fees 18%, NII 15%--all good numbers. Also, shares are up so much this year. A good story.

They have lots of runway: they issued 3.3 million new cards were issued last quarter with 80% to Millennials and GenZ. Don't trade, but invest in this.

How many times has AmEx been downgraded only to bounce back? And you're downgrading before a rate-cutting cycle?

Good to hear management's recent comments about slower, but stable growth, given worries that travel and discretionary spending is slowing. AXP is expanding its base, which has been loyal, to a younger demographic.

Spending remains robust. Revenue will grow 9-11% based on the strong, upper-end consumer.

It was done very well for him, but revenue growth is slightly moderating, only 10% in the last quarter. He's concerned, but can't and won't sell.

Was downgraded today. She trimmed it recently because it's been a strong performer. Trades at a high 15.5x forward PE. Vacation and concert spending may be slowing, so she reduced her weight. It remains the top operator in the high-income space. It has a great runway, but it got too expensive.

Higher ranked on RSI. Bit of disruption in the space, as the Capital One & Discover deal had an impact on capital flows.
