AXP: Bull or Bear?
American Express is in an uptrend
AXP
-0.72%

5 days
Filed under: American Express (AXP), Stocks to Buy  With American Express Co., (AXP), it's best to look down the field, i.e. think long-term, which is why I'm reiterating my Buy rating for the company, first recommended on April 27, 2009 at a price of $27.28. If you bought AXP in April, you're up about 51%.
As forecast, institutional investors (IIs) have looked right past AXP's likely double-digit revenue decline for 2009, to the probable sunnier skies in 2010. In the year ahead, charge-offs should continued to stabilize, amid slowing delinquencies.

Is Credit Card Debt the Next Financial Disaster?

<> With the economic downturn, rising unemployment, decline in house prices, and limited ability for consumers to continue using their homes as an ATM; credit card debt is poised to be the next disaster in the financial sector with bearish outlooks for credit lenders Capital One (COF), Discover (DFS), and American Express (AXP). Credit card processors such as Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA) have also declined with the overall market, but are leveraged to the volume of transactions with debit and credit cards rather than...

Shares of this wide-moat gem are near five-year lows, thanks to consumer weakness and the market's cold feet regarding anything even remotely tied to financials or consumers. Amex won't rocket up the charts overnight, but for patient investors who are willing to go against the grain and grab shares right now, the long-run return prospects look almost absurdly favorable. If you currently have a position in American Express, you are right to own this stock -- it's a great business trading for a good price today. (And not coincidentally, Buffett is a longtime shareholder.)

AXP is very oversold. Market has overreacted to soft economy and its negative impact on AXP. Stock is moving up sharply off of 5-year lows with heavy volume. As the excess disposible income produced from the continued drop in oil prices begins to work its way through the economy, AXP will see a consequent recovery in earnings. Once stock passes minor resistance at 40, it should move quickly back to resistance around 50.

The Long Case for American Express
AXP
+6.25%
in
472 days
 Over the last couple of weeks, American Express (AXP) has become a favored whipping boy of the financial shorts, who point to the company’s recent bad quarter and exposure to consumer credit as reasons the stock will continue to decline. While the idea that Amex will continue to face problems isn’t wrong on the face of it, what a lot of people are missing is the fact that Amex is still outperforming the other credit card companies - and it took a year for the problems facing the rest of the credit card industry to catch up with Amex.

I’ve been saying the same thing for months. Ignore American Express (AXP) because of its exposure to consumer debt. But no one listened. AXP will be fine, they said. You’re blowing the consumer issue out of proportion. “Ian Cooper has no brain,†said one reader. But we were right.

Things will be back on track for AXP within the next six months. This whole credit crisis won't be over yet but it will hit the rich much less (aka people who use AXP). This is a smart company which never seemed too bothered by the whole credit crunch compared to many others. A P/E for AXP of 11 is historically low or histarically low depending on your persective. Expect earnings of .84 per share for sept 08 with revenue of 7.9B. I expect growth numbers of 12-15% a year for the next 5 years. The low dividends are a good thing as their capitol goes into improving their company and not pleasi...

American Express is unlike Mastercard or Visa that only process credit card transactions for banks. AXP actually provides the credit and takes the credit risk onto its own books.
With the economy poised on the edge of a serious recession you can expect delinquent credit card payments and credit cards defaults and losses to begin to mount at American Express. This will place earnings under pressure for many quarters to come.
While the optimists are still forecasting a quick recovery for the American economy I have my doubts. With housing still in a downtrend ...
