American Express Stock Gains Momentum with Jim Cramer’s Endorsement
American Express shares have surged 27.4% over the past year and 163.2% over three years, drawing attention from market commentators like Jim Cramer. The financial services giant trades at less than 20 times next year's earnings, presenting a relatively cheap option in the S&P 500. Cramer highlights its 12.6% projected earnings growth and a refreshed platinum card targeting millennials and Gen Z.
