Discover Financial Services (DFS) had an impressive run that saw its stock soar to an all-time high of $179.13, despite a few underperformances compared to competitors. Notable developments in the company include changes in key positions, such as the appointment of Kelly Welsh as Interim Chief Legal Officer and the resignation of CEO Michael Rhodes. Exploring new ventures, DFS is reportedly well-positioned for potential acquisitions and has been involved in digital currency and payment sectors. The company's business performance continued to thrive, as indicated by the Q3 2024 earnings, which reported a net income of $965 million, leading to strong trading days. DFS has seen increased interest from banks and investment firms; however, some shareholing firms also trimmed their positions. Although there were conflicts over the Capital One-Discover merger, and a sharp plunge in profit due to compliance costs, DFS seemed to resurface with improved margins for 2024. Regulatory concerns over the same merger remain under New York scrutiny. DFS's performance overall indicates a high-return, asset-light entity with significant growth potential.
