AXP trade ideas
OPTIONS WATCHLIST 8/18/2024 OPTIONS WATCHLIST 8/18/2024
NASDAQ:PYPL - Stock failing to break $68.25 long term resistance for that 5th time but still holding close to it. Calls above that level for a move to $70 and higher. Stock is strong on indicator level
NYSE:IBM - On CNBC, Rob Sechan of NewEdge Wealth said IBM is a “nice combination of defensive growth and margin expansion.” calls above $194 for a move towards $200 and higher. All time highs around $206
NASDAQ:TTD - Friday Live On CNBC; Josh Brown Buys Trade Desk as stock broke $100 resistance level. Next resistance at $102.50. Looking for calls above that level. For a move towards $110 and higher.
NYSE:JPM - stock moving strong with other bank stocks as it approaches top of trendline resistance at $215. Looking for calls above that level for a move towards $220 and higher. Stock is strong on indicator level
NYSE:AXP - Another stock with strong momentum approaching all time highs at $256.24. Looking for calls above $252.5 for a move towards all time highs and above.
$AXP - good entry point?Super bullish call volume on options chain.
Blood bath in market, but momentum upward.
Hammered of regression channel and is mid recovery not even half way through trading day.
Volatile for a big company. Lots of potential for swing trades.
Could hit $240 before $244, today was ugly for the market as a whole, so a lot of trades are shaking out
I see this headed back to $250 within 60 days. Trend is bullish.
not rtade advice
$AXP - fake breakout or recharge?I typically never look at stocks that have a huge run up and seem over extended on the 1 day chart.
But, the 4 hour chart clearly shows a reversal from being oversold with momentum and all key indicators pointing towards a move up.
Due to the big wick on Friday, the fib channel has opened a pathway to $260.
Unusual options activity at $260 strike price as well for august.... seems a bit premature but the range is evident and the last 3 candles on the 4 hour chart show it wants to move.
This is interesting for me as it goes for, and against, what I look for in a price target.
Then I realize, I'm against it based on feeling/judgement. The indicators point towards $260, or at least $250-$260 range.
Not trade advice.

American Express May Be Sneaking HigherAmerican Express broke out to record highs in January. Now after six weeks of tight price action, some traders may expect further upside.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the jump on April 19 after earnings beat estimates. AXP cleared the late-March closing high around $229 and proceeded to retest and hold that same level on May 3.
So, the current month’s low is near a previous month’s high. Has old resistance become new support?
Next you have a higher low above $234 this week.
Third, the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has remained above the 21-day EMA. That may reflect a bullish short-term trend.
Finally, stochastics are near an oversold condition.

In conclusion, American Express ( NYSE:AXP ) has exceeded the market's expectations with its Q1 2021 results and reaffirmed its full-year growth guidance for 2024.

AXP American Express Company Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought the dip on AXP:
Then analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of AXP American Express prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 185usd strike price Puts with

If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
AXP, THE PLATINUM CARD ISN'T ACTUALLY PLATINUMTrends and price targets marked.
Things are overextended
Potential to bounce back and catch more upside even with the overextension.
Guideline is more for backtracking, but it could potentially look something like this.
Follow trends and price targets rather than guideline, it is more to get an idea of what things could look like.
247 or so looks like a top to me especially with the trend formation
I would suggest watching a break on the lowest green support trend
and I would also suggest watching a rejection on the rejection trend.
Should we break out of rejection trend, probably 360.
Drop will be steep, but the most natural path would be the 247 drop to 80.
I would say, if you're looking to enter, wait and be patient. If there is more upside, you're not missing much. If downside is coming, there are still trend support lines that can see bounces in price, meaning, you'll likely be able to find a better entry that allows for less risk.
American Express Q4 Earnings Report: Navigating Challenges
American Express (NYSE: NYSE:AXP ) recently released its fourth-quarter earnings report, showcasing a mix of positive and challenging developments. While the financial giant reported solid earnings growth and increased quarterly dividends, concerns have surfaced regarding a notable uptick in net write-offs. This article delves into the key aspects of American Express' Q4 performance, providing a comprehensive analysis of the company's financial health, dividend strategy, and market response.
Earnings Performance:
In the fourth quarter of 2023, American Express ( NYSE:AXP ) reported net income of $1.9 billion, a substantial increase from the year-ago figure of $1.6 billion. The per-share earnings also demonstrated growth, rising from $2.07 to $2.62. Despite these positive strides, the reported earnings fell slightly short of Street estimates, with the consensus expecting $2.64 per share.
Provisions for Credit Losses:
A notable concern in the report was the 40% annualized increase in provisions for credit losses, totaling $1.4 billion. This suggests a continued rise in net write-offs, indicating potential challenges in managing credit risk. The increase in credit loss provisions has raised eyebrows among investors and analysts alike, prompting a closer examination of the company's risk management strategies.
Dividend Increase:
American Express ( NYSE:AXP ) sought to balance concerns about credit losses by announcing a 17% increase in its quarterly dividend, now set at 70 cents per share. This move is aimed at rewarding shareholders and instilling confidence in the company's financial stability. The stock market responded positively to this news, with NYSE:AXP experiencing an uptick of close to 40% from its low in late October.
Revenue and Expenses:
The Q4 report revealed consolidated total revenues net of interest expense at $15.8 billion, reflecting an 11% increase from the previous year. The growth was primarily driven by higher net interest income and increased Card Member spending. However, expenses also rose by 5%, reaching $11.9 billion, attributed to higher customer engagement costs and other factors.
Segment-wise Analysis:
Breaking down the performance by business segments, U.S. Consumer Services reported a pretax income increase, but provisions for credit losses also surged. Commercial Services and International Card Services showed mixed results, with varying impacts on credit losses and expenses. Global Merchant and Network Services reported positive growth in pretax income and revenues, while Corporate and Other faced a pretax loss.
Future Outlook:
Despite the challenges reflected in the Q4 report, American Express ( NYSE:AXP ) remains optimistic about its future. The company forecasts up to 11% annualized growth in revenue and anticipates per-share earnings in the range of $12.65 to $13.15 for Q4. This outlook exceeds analyst expectations, with consensus estimates at $12.38 per share.
Conclusion:
American Express' ( NYSE:AXP ) Q4 earnings report paints a nuanced picture of the company's performance. While grappling with increased credit losses, the strategic move to boost dividends showcases management's commitment to shareholder value. Investors are likely to closely monitor how American Express ( NYSE:AXP ) addresses the challenges highlighted in the report and executes its growth plans in the coming quarters.
