BMO Capital raised the firm’s price target on American Express to $175 from $167 and keeps an Underperform rating on the shares. The firm cites the company’s broad-based Q1 earnings beat, with higher than previously-modeled net interest income and slightly lower credit costs being partly offset by higher expected operating expenses. BMO adds however that it remains concerned that American Express’s elevated loan restructuring rate could eventually bleed into higher credit provisions.
