The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- AXP closes above its 50-day average ($317.05) while the 50-day is still under the 200-day ($325.93): a rebound inside a longer decline, not yet an uptrend.
- At $328.48, AXP is 15.2% below its 1-year high of $387.49, set on December 12, 2025, and 12.9% above its 1-year low of $290.97 (March 20, 2026).
- Over the past month AXP rose 8.5%, from $302.78 to $328.48.
- AXP trades at 18.5x its last twelve months of earnings and 16.3x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 13.8% higher.
- Its P/E is 46.4% below the 34.5x median of the 3 other credit services companies we track (V, MA, COF).
- AXP's 30-day volatility, 22.2% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 1.4%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 1.08: over five years of monthly returns, AXP moved about 1.08% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
What would change the read
- The rebound holds while it closes above the 50-day average, $317.05 (−3.5%); it becomes an uptrend when the 50-day climbs 2.8% to cross the 200-day at $325.93.
- A close above $387.49 (+18.0%) would be a new 1-year high; below $290.97 (−11.4%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for AXP, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under credit services among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
