RESEARCH UNAVAILABLE

We attempted this research and were not able to publish a thesis that met our quality bar. Rather than show a number the analysis would not stand behind, it is held for review — we will retry once the underlying issue is resolved.

The financials and ratios on this page come straight from the filings and are live. The judgement — what it is worth, and what would break it — is what we add.

FLASH · 15–30 MINUTES

A fast read of the filings to help decide whether this is worth a closer look. Thin by design.

DEEP · HOURS

A full research report on the company and everything around it — the filings, the competitors, the news, the industry, the economy and the regulatory backdrop — with a full valuation model, fair value, and bear, base and bull case scenarios.

FLASH THESIS — NOT A DEEP DIVE

A fast, high-level read of the filings and the sector — deliberately thin to surface ideas cheaply. Deep research has NOT been performed. Many ideas look great in flash, but deep dives often uncover thesis-breaking details that flash reads have missed. Please run a full deep dive before any investment decision.

Valuation

American Express — the full valuation model

This company has been valued on Reinvestment-consistent DCF, with a year-by-year forecast, the cost of capital built up from the risk-free rate, a bear/base/bull scenario set and a sensitivity grid. The fair value and the scenario range are on the Overview; the workings behind them — every driver, rate and sensitivity — are Premium.

Public comps (how the market prices the nearest comparable businesses)

The 6 investable Credit Services industry peers closest in size, largest first. Market caps are shown in USD so the set compares like with like; the multiples are currency-neutral. The median is taken across the PEERS only — it is what this company is being compared to — and per column, over the peers that actually report each measure.

A comparable set says what the market is paying for similar businesses today, not what any of them is worth. It is a cross-check on the model above, not a substitute for it.

A note on method: PrimerIQ's research is built bottom-up from the filings — what a business earns and what it's worth. The charts below read price history, not the business; we include them because many investors want them, not because they drive our valuation. Treat them as one lens among several.
