Discover Financial Services (DFS) has been a key topic of discussion among financial analysts. The company has had some shakes in its stock performance, not performing up to par with competitors on several occasions, despite being rated as a 'hold' by analysts. Multiple investments in DFS have been noted; firms such as TrinityPoint Wealth, Team Hewins, and Wells Fargo & Company MN purchased significant shares, while others such as Panagora Asset Management and Primecap Management Co. sold large quantities. Despite a minor decline in Q4 earnings, the company reported net income of $308 million (or $1.10 per share) in Q1 2024. The company's CEO has resigned, but DFS is making strategic moves, including deploying Google Cloud's Generative AI to enhance customer service. Presenting potential risks, the company set aside an extra $1B anticipating souring credit. Despite these challenges, the company's stock rose amid the announcement of Capital One's $35 billion acquisition move. However, the company faces high costs that impacted its earnings, prompting some caution among analysts. Meanwhile, the company continues to be popular among institutional investors, who hold around 88% of its shares, and its shares have yielded a 13% compound annual growth rate over the last five years.
