Alright, so AXP is trading at 301.91 and honestly, this thing has been on more rollercoasters than a Six Flags season pass holder. Go back to last summer and it was mooning into the mid-300s, hit 381 not that long ago, then faceplanted right back to just under 300. Classic boomer card company move—just when you think it’s unstoppable, it finds a banana peel. But I’m actually bullish here, and not just because my uncle still flexes his Amex Platinum at every dinner. There’s support around the current level and every time it dips under 300 lately, it’s snapped back hard. Consumer spending isn’t falling off a cliff yet (which is wild, considering rents) and AXP is still finding new high-income Gen Z and millennial customers who apparently love points more than rent money. Also, earnings are coming up in a few weeks and this name loves to surprise to the upside when Wall Street goes all “recession incoming” mode. Target: 357.00 (let’s not get too greedy, there’s resistance up there and I’m not trying to be a bagholder if we get another rug pull). Risk? Well, if the Fed actually decides to go hard with a rate hike or we get slapped with some consumer spending miss, AXP could absolutely just sit flat or even trend lower. Not gonna sugarcoat it—this one can chop sideways for months and make you question every life choice. But as a short-term trade, the setup isn’t bad. The big thing I’m watching is their guidance in the next earnings call. If they raise the full-year, people will fomo back in. If not, I’ll probably just tap out at break-even and pretend I never posted this. 🤷‍♂️

This chart is basically the definition of a rollercoaster. AXP ripped from under 235 in April to almost 382 by December, then got absolutely smoked all the way down to around 303 in March. I'm looking at this pullback as a rare chance to buy one of the most proven compounders on the planet when the market's not feeling so optimistic. My target is 344.22 in the next two months, once the panic settles and buyers remember what kind of name this really is. The core bull case here is that Amex's cardholder base skews ultra-premium and just doesn't react to economic jitters the way most financials do. Their spend is driven by high-income customers who keep swiping through thick and thin, and that's why their default rates stay so absurdly low even when things get wobbly. That means reliable revenue, which is exactly what you want in a sideways market. On top of that, AXP's merchant fee model isn't getting hit the way the bears predicted. If anything, the travel and dining rebound has given them pricing power, and the market seems to have forgotten how much of their business comes from those spend categories. The digital bank arms race is sucking all the headlines but Amex is just quietly printing cash quarter after quarter. That said, you can't ignore the risk from a genuine consumer spending crunch. If people really start cutting back, even Amex's premium crowd won't be immune, and the stock could easily retest those March lows. But with earnings coming up and the Fed signaling steady rates for now, I think the setup is there for a sharp bounce. If the company beats on volume growth, expect shorts to scramble and the narrative to flip fast.
