If you look at the EPS trend projections; EPS is set to drop to 2021, but we think the market has already priced in the worst, so while EPS will take a hit, the stock is going to reverse a lot faster than the EPS. However, going forward EPS is expected to trend upwards to 2023, so now would be a good time to establish long term positions in American Express. The stock also pays a dividend of roughly 1.8% so this could be something of interest to dividend investors.
