Morgan Stanley raised the firm’s price target on American Express to $199 from $175 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares.

The firm, which expects delinquency deterioration to slow, adds that “consensus has come our way and is no longer too optimistic.” However, the firm adds that “it’s too early to buy the group” as bear case risks remain in place.
