- Friday, February 22, 11:53 AM Discover (DFS) Chairman and CEO David Nelms received $9.96M in salary, stock awards, and incentive pay in 2012. It's down from $13.89M in 2011, but the difference came from the 2011 stock award which included 2010's grant as well . The company also nominates Catamaran CEO Mark Thierer to the board to replace Robert Devlin. (8-K) Comment! [Financials]
- Monday, February 11, 1:32 PM Student loans and a potential change making them dischargeable in bankruptcy could be a "train wreck" for the economy, but not for Discover (DFS), says President Roger Hochschild. Discover - one of just a few offering loans not backed by the government - is very pleased with the returns it's geting and intends to expand the business, says Hochschild. 2 Comments [Financials, U.S. Economy]
- Wednesday, February 6, 10:59 AM Goldman Sachs' top 10 stocks with the greatest upside potential before they reach the price target assigned by the firm: AAPL, GT, PRU, AMAT, JOY, F, DFS, WMB, SWN, NOV. 12 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Friday, December 21, 2012, 10:32 AM RBC Capital releases its top global stocks for 2013 and, unsurprisingly, a handful of Canadian companies make the cut: BAM, MGA, SLW, TD, TU, VRX, DLMAF.PK, TFIFF.PK. Among other favorites: CBS, CLH, DFS, PCP, SHW, TUWLF.PK. The firm says the stocks should benefit from both a cyclical recovery and company-specific tailwinds. 1 Comment [Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, December 20, 2012, 10:46 AM More on Discover (DFS -3%) FQ4 earnings: Bulls on the high-flier (+61% YTD) may have a buying opportunity as the earnings miss looks to be the result of an 18% increase in expenses thanks to costs associated with the Tree.com acquisition and new partnerships. Operationally: Total loans +6% Y/Y, net interest margin +34 bps, net charge-offs a historical low of 2.29%, delinquency rate of 1.86% down 53 bps. (PR) 3 Comments [Financials, On the Move]

- Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 3:33 PM There's more clarity on financials today than at any point in the past 5 years, says Meredith Whitney, taking to CNBC to talk about her upgrade of several in the sector yesterday. Going into 2012, investors weren't giving Bank of America (BAC) much credit, she says, giving it plenty now by upgrading after a doubling in price this year (she sees another 35% upside). 14 Comments [Financials]
- Monday, December 17, 2012, 6:50 PM Financials add to the regular session's big gains as Meredeth Whitney gets bullish on the sector, particularly Bank of America, Citigroup, and Discover. The catalyst for the group will be the March release of the Fed's stress tests showing them adequately capitalized, paving the way for more share repurchases and dividend bumps. BAC +2.1%, C +0.5%, DFS +2.3%, XLF +0.4% AH. 8 Comments [Financials, On the Move]

After-hours top gainers, as of 5:15 p.m.: DFS +2.4%. TWO +2.3%. BAC +2.1%. UNIS +1.8%. RF +1.1%.
After-hours top losers: PHG -6%. RAS -5.5%. RMTI -3.4%. NWY -2.8%. UVXY -1.8%. Comment! [On the Move] - Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 2:48 PM Late-stage credit card delinquencies rose 2 bps in October to 1.71%, according to Fitch, the first increase in a year. Other reads were more favorable, with early-stage delinquencies flat at 2.21%, and the charge-off index falling 13 bps to 4.16% - the lowest in nearly 6 years. Don't count credit card companies in with those hurt by low rates - their interest margin is near a record-high 11.2%. Comment! [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 12:09 PM Don't look for a special dividend from Discover (DFS +1.1%), says CEO David Nelms, speaking at a BAML investor conference. If the excess capital is there, he prefers higher quarterly payouts and share repurchases. Comment! [Financials]
- Thursday, September 27, 2012, 8:55 AM More on Discover (DFS): Q3 net income fell 3.4% Y/Y. Card sales volume +4%. Total loans +9%.

What do you think about this quirky trick for using $V, $DFS, $MA, $AXP junk mail for travel: http://seekingalpha.com/p/10393? Any thoughts? - View all 2 replies

Philip Saglimbeni: actually pretty clever ; ) only annoyance would be carrying two wallets but it's better than being robbed of your real cards! -
Chris DeMuth Jr.: Depends on where you are and if it is a legitimate concern. In oil and gas where one goes "where the dinosaurs died", can be dangerous.
