Sign InAmid a robust period for the financial services sector, American Express (AXP) has been featured on the Zacks Focus List as a top-rated investment choice. According to reports from Zacks Investment Research, the stock earned its place due to its consistent earnings momentum and positive price action. This inclusion highlights the company's status as a preferred option for investors looking to build long-term portfolios.
This positive assessment arrives as major credit card peers show steady performance, with Visa (V) closing at $362.13 and Mastercard (MA) at $539.39 per market data. Compared to previous quarters, AXP continues to leverage resilient consumer spending within the premium segment, a factor that provides a competitive edge over peers focused on broader retail demographics.

Investors are now looking toward upcoming catalysts, specifically the U.S. Consumer Credit data scheduled for release on June 29, which will offer insights into borrowing trends and spending health that directly impact the company's bottom line.
