AXP rebounds as analysts highlight resilience to Trump's credit card rate cap proposal
American Express gained after TheStreet reported analyst Bob Lang recommending investors 'buy the dip,' arguing AXP's fee-based business model insulates it from Trump's proposed 10% interest rate cap. Lang emphasized that unlike other credit card issuers, AXP relies more on merchant swipe fees and premium customer spending than interest income.

Analysis

This appears to be a technical rebound following the sharp selloff earlier this week when Trump's rate cap proposal triggered a 4%+ drop. The analyst commentary providing differentiation between AXP's fee-driven model and interest-dependent competitors gave investors a reason to re-enter. However, the light volume at 0.5x normal suggests this is more of a relief bounce than conviction buying—institutional investors don't appear to be aggressively accumulating.
