While transaction volumes dipped in 2020 due to the Covid-19 related lockdowns, we expect consumer spending, particularly on travel to pick up over the next two years as vaccination rates improve and travel restrictions are eased.

So What?

However, we think that the potential recovery is more than priced-in for Amex stock, which is up by about 45% year-to-date. We value American Express at about $152 per share, about 10% below the current market price.
