- Tuesday, June 12, 2012, 7:48 AM Discover (DFS) gets into the mortgage origination business, launching Discover Home Loans today. Wells Fargo (WFC) is the industry giant, writing 1 in 3 U.S. mortgages and banking coin thanks to a lack of competition. (PR) Comment! [Financials]
- Thursday, April 19, 2012, 6:15 PM Banks rating banks: JPMorgan Chase (JPM) is by far the most loved bank among Wall Street analysts, with 87.5% Buy ratings; next are WFC, DFS and COF, earning Buys from 70% or more. Least loved, with fewer than 40% earning Buy ratings: BK, BAC, BBT, TROW, MS. Comment! [Financials, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, April 13, 2012, 10:00 AM The CFPB proposes reversing a ban on high credit card sign-up fees that caps the amount an issuer can charge at 25% of the card’s limit during its first year of use. The agency appears to be backing down from an ongoing legal battle over ways issuers sidestep the current regulation. 2 Comments [Financials]
- Wednesday, April 11, 2012, 7:43 AM Credit card lenders issued 1.1M new cards to borrowers with damaged credit in December, up 12.3% Y/Y, and part of a trend of banks tiptoeing back into subprime lending. The banks - needing to make up for billions in lost fee and other income from recent regulatory overhaul - insist they are distinguishing between chronic deadbeats and "fallen angels." 2 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, March 23, 2012, 7:05 AM Goldman Sachs adds Discover Financial (DFS) to its Conviction Buy list and sets a lofty $39 price target on the heels of the firm's FQ1 report. Analysts with Goldman see EPS upside for Discover Financial on the strength of its stable credit losses and improving loan growth. Comment! [Financials]
- Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 4:33 PM More on Discover Financial (DFS): FQ1 earnings beat on all counts with record earnings for the quarter. Revenue grew by 6.3% Y/Y as card sales volume grew 7% from the prior year period to $25.6B. Shares +2.4% AH. Comment! [Financials, Earnings, On the Move]
- Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 4:25 PM Discover Financial Services (DFS): FQ1 EPS of $1.18 beats by $0.22. Revenue of $1.84B (+6.3% Y/Y) beats by $40M. Shares +0.7% AH. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Financials]
- Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 12:10 AM Notable earnings after Wednesday's close: CLC, DFS Comment! [Earnings]
- Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 5:35 PM Notable earnings after Wednesday's close: CLC, DFS Comment! [Earnings]
- Thursday, March 15, 2012, 10:37 AM Argus initiates coverage on Discover Financial (DFS -1.1%) with a Buy rating and $40 price target. Though the company flew a bit below the radar this week after bigger names grabbed the headlines over the Fed stress test, it also hit the streets running after passing the central bank's scrutiny with a newly announced $2B buyback plan and $0.10 quarterly dividend. Comment! [Financials]
- Wednesday, March 7, 2012, 12:59 PM Discover Financial (DFS +1.7%) signs a deal to process transactions on India's RuPay payment network as it continues its efforts to grow its global presence to catch up with rivals American Express, Visa, and Mastercard. Keefe Bruyette analyst Sanjay Sakhrani calls the deal a "win" for Discover. Comment! [Financials]
- Saturday, January 14, 2012, 8:50 AM You can't tell what stocks to buy just from analyst calls, not when there are 10 "Buys" for every "Sell." But you can learn from studies that show that "Sell" calls - like those recently issued for PLL and GPS - tend to be more prescient than Buy picks. Those calls with recently raised near-term earnings forecasts (as recently with ROST, BRCM and DFS) also move prices more than those without. Comment! [Quick Ideas]
- Friday, December 16, 2011, 9:58 AM Stifel Nicolaus upgrades Discover Financial (DFS +3.4%) to Buy from Hold with a $29 target price, saying FQ4 results are further evidence that DFS is outperforming its peers in the credit card industry with strong credit, spending and receivable growth trends. Stifel says the stock pullback is overdone and now presents an attractive entry point; Citigroup's analysis offers a different take. Comment! [Financials, On the Move]
- Thursday, December 15, 2011, 3:43 PM Discover (DFS -3.2%) sells off despite beating earnings and a dividend boost. Spooking investors are worries the company has seen the best of credit improvements. Discover released just $68M in reserves into the profit column in FQ4 against $359M in FQ3. "It's going to be harder for card stocks to outperform over the next 6-12 months," says Donald Fandetti from Citigroup. DFS +24.5% YTD. Comment! [On the Move, Financials]
- Thursday, December 15, 2011, 8:39 AM Discover Financial Services (DFS): FQ4 EPS of $0.95 beats by $0.03. Revenue of $1.80B (+13.2% Y/Y) in-line. Shares +0.8% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Financials]
