- Friday, August 17, 2012, 3:38 AM With cybercrime costing the finance sector an estimated $2.5B last year, firms are buying new Internet domain suffixes as part of their attempts to prevent scammers deceiving customers into giving them their confidential details with bogus Web sites that look authentic. The new suffixes include dot-citi (C), dot-bofa (BAC) and dot-barclays (BCS), with COF, JPM and American Express (AXP) also buying addresses. 5 Comments [Financials, Tech, Consumer]
- Monday, August 13, 2012, 4:12 AM Debt-collection lawsuits based on erroneous and even forged documents, incomplete records, and generic testimony from witnesses - sound familiar? The NYT finds that robo-signing is alive and well, but this time in the practices of credit-card companies such as American Express (AXP), Citigroup (C) and Discover Financial (DFS). Regulators are looking into the matter. Comment! [Financials, Consumer]
- Thursday, August 9, 2012, 12:50 PM American Express (AXP) isn't a buy, says Hedgeye's Josh Steiner, noting management commentary at the company's investor day indicates billing growth continued to slow in July from Q2's already slowing pace. "(It) appears to reflect a weak overall economic environment, which shows up in a number of areas," said CEO Ken Chenault. Comment! [Financials]
- Wednesday, July 18, 2012, 4:24 PM More on American Express (AXP): Net income of $1.3B +1% Y/Y. Cardmember spending +9%, below the double-digit levels of recent quarters. Managing expenses remains a focus "given the uncertain economic outlook." Marketing, rewards, and employee pay were all lower than a year ago, but offset by higher "occupancy and equipment" costs, leaving total expenses +2% Y/Y. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Financials]
- Wednesday, July 18, 2012, 4:14 PM American Express (AXP): Q2 EPS of $1.15 beats by $0.05. Revenue of $8B (+5% Y/Y) misses by $80M. Shares -0.6% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Financials]
- Wednesday, July 18, 2012, 12:10 AM Notable earnings after Wednesday's close: AXP, CYS, EBAY, EWBC, FFIV, IBM, KMP, LHO, NE, QCOM, SCSS, SLM, SWKS, SYK,XLNX, YUM Comment! [Earnings]
- Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 5:35 PM Notable earnings after Wednesday's close: AXP, CYS, EBAY, EWBC, FFIV, IBM, KMP, LHO, NE, QCOM, SCSS, SLM, SWKS, SYK,XLNX, YUM Comment! [Earnings]
- Monday, July 16, 2012, 2:35 PM Shares of American Express (AXP +1.3%) also enjoy a boost following the settlement between rival card issuers and retailers. AXP benefits because MasterCard and Visa would lower their fees less than expected and thus "can continue to charge its current rates and won’t see meaningful pricing pressure," Susquehanna says. Capital One (COF +2.3%) also should benefit. Comment! [Financials, On the Move]
- Monday, July 16, 2012, 11:21 AM The U.S. wins an electronic-payments case against China at the WTO, which rules against China UnionPay's virtual monopoly over the Chinese market (at the expense of firms like Visa (V), MasterCard (MA) and American Express (AXP)). Comment! [Financials]
- Monday, July 16, 2012, 7:33 AM Consumers will see extra charges when they use plastic as a byproduct of the massive settlement between retailers and credit card companies. Merchants have wider authority to add a surcharge for credit card transactions as part of the historic deal. Premarket: V +3.2%, MA +4.1%, AXP +0.4%. 15 Comments [Financials, On the Move]
- Monday, July 16, 2012, 6:03 AM The National Association of Convenience Stores, which represents 3,700 such shops, criticizes the $7.25B settlement between the credit-card industry and merchants, saying the deal doesn't address the key issue of how much control the industry retains. The trade group has hired Constantine Cannon, a veteran law firm in fights against credit-card firms. 1 Comment [Financials]
- Tuesday, July 10, 2012, 12:11 PM Invest in consumers on the Lexus-driving side of the "credit divide," says Nomura's Bill Carache, upgrading AMEX as he downgrades Capital One (he also likes Discover). Since the 2008 peak, outstanding balances have declined more than 25% at COF vs. just 18% at AXP and DFS. Comment! [Financials, Quick Ideas]
- Monday, July 9, 2012, 7:43 AM Credit card delinquency rates just keep on falling, baffling even the card issuers themselves who expected the improvement to stop a year ago. The key is todays environment in which those with good credit histories and jobs are extended credit, and those without aren't. Shocking. The news could mean card company earnings being a bright spot in an otherwise difficult quarter for financials. Comment! [Financials]
- Sunday, July 8, 2012, 7:41 AM Seven DJIA components have hit all-time highs this year (vs. 8 in 2011), with JNJ and AXP seemingly next in line. Many of the blue chips boast strong balance sheets, consistent cash flows, and yields matching or beating Treasurys - adaptive managements are thrown in for free. What's not to like? 21 Comments
- Tuesday, June 19, 2012, 3:34 AM The CFPB launches a website today that will publicly list complaints made by credit card customers against specific banks and lenders. The watchdog agency says its goal is to make the credit card market more transparent, though the banking industry is braced for a wave of reputation-tarnishing claims. 1 Comment [Consumer, Financials]
- Friday, June 15, 2012, 2:25 PM American Express (AXP) reports an annualized charge-off rate of 2.2% in May, down from 2.4% in April, and 3.2% a year ago. Payments late by 30 days or more falls to 1.2% of total balances from 1.3% in April, and 1.6% a year ago. (Form 8-K) Comment! [Financials]
