<> With the economic downturn, rising unemployment, decline in house prices, and limited ability for consumers to continue using their homes as an ATM; credit card debt is poised to be the next disaster in the financial sector with bearish outlooks for credit lenders Capital One (COF), Discover (DFS), and American Express (AXP). Credit card processors such as Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA) have also declined with the overall market, but are leveraged to the volume of transactions with debit and credit cards rather than...

Discover Financial Services has been gaining market share, most recently though its purchase of Diners Club. They are also sueing Visa and MC for blocking their marketshare. I think that Discover will grow by leaps and bounds in the coming couple years... Maybe we could see $100 a share in a couple years!

The Discover U.S. Spending Monitor recorded its third consecutive monthly decline in January, falling more than four points to 86.1 as economic concern continued to grow and post holiday spending intentions moderated.
Both the economic and spending components of the index reached new lows in January as just over 70 percent of consumers now think the economy is in decline and 48 percent feel the same way about their personal finances.

They are upgrading DFS to Overweight from Underweight as they think it will beat consensus estimates in 2008, thanks to more prudent underwriting (lower credit losses), more leverage in the net interest margin to Fed rate cuts, and limited vulnerability to gapping spreads in the unsecured funding markets. It now looks like more aggressive peers, such as AXP and COF, may have taken on more credit and funding risk than they should have, and the firm expects those companies to disappoint consensus estimates. They regard COF as exposed to subprime card and auto loans. AXP may be in for further ...

Lower late payments for last year Higher domestic profits Higher revenues Low PE ratio Growth into 2008 Sounds great!!!!! But it is a finacial.

Discover: An Ugly Ducking among Credit Card Companies

Mastercard's been much loved stock, though it has lost some of its momentum recently. American Express is best-of-breed that's much more attractive to us value investors due to reasons I don't want to go into here. If markets turn favorable to IPO's, we should the largest of them all, Visa, make its debut in the capital markets as well.
Discover was spun out of Morgan Stanley recently. It's down approx. 23% since it started trading and looks spinoff effect has made it quite attractive for us to jump in at this $22-23 range. There hasn't been much love felt towards financials recently...
