American Express: Consumer Confidence Rebound Is Big

American Express is well-positioned to perform well due to its focus on high-income consumers, who are less affected by inflation and economic downturns. Recent consumer confidence data shows increasing optimism, particularly among higher-income groups, suggesting the market's negative outlook on consumer spending is overstated. American Express' strong ROE and conservative EPS growth assumptions imply significant upside potential, with shares potentially undervalued by about 20.9%.

American Express: Overtaking Visa

American Express has a wide moat supported by a strong brand image, evidenced by a more affluent customer base, as well as an impeccable network effect. As EPS growth is expected to overtake Visa and predictability increases, the stock should see multiple expansion. I rate American Express stock a buy on its wide moat, accelerating growth paired with a modest valuation, and relatively low risk.
