Discover Financial Services (DFS) has been the subject of significant activity recently, with multiple acquisitions and share purchases by established firms such as V Square Quantitative Management LLC, Teachers Retirement System of The State of Kentucky, and Price T Rowe Associates Inc. The stock regularly outperforms competitors, despite day-to-day losses, and maintains an average 'Hold' rating from analysts. There's been focus on DFS's financial performance - the credit card delinquency and net charge-off rates retreated in May, there's been a slight dip in Q4 earnings due to rising charge-offs and Q1 2024 earnings are predicted to decline. Yet, first quarter 2024 net income was confirmed at $308 million or $1.10 per diluted share. DFS's dividend behaviour remains favourable with continued payouts. But, concerns regarding sour credit have led to an additional $1B being kept aside. Major news include a proposed $35 billion acquisition of DFS by Capital One, prompting the resignation of DFS CEO. DFS is also using Google Cloud's Generative AI for customer service enhancement. Overall, DFS's recent activities suggest some market volatility, but intriguing moves in innovation and corporate restructure.
