Discover Financial Services (DFS) has recently been in the news for several positive and negative reasons. The company reported improved credit card metrics, strong Q3 2024 earnings with a net income of $965 million, and increasing acceptance for cardholders through a strategic alliance with Telered. Many investment firms like Mizuho Securities USA, Atria Investments Inc, and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC have been adding DFS shares to their portfolios. However, there have been instances where the stock has underperformed on certain trading days against its competitors. Regulatory challenges arose as DFS's planned merger with Capital One is currently under investigation by the New York Attorney General. DFS also missed its 10-Q filing deadline because of an accounting dispute with the SEC. The Chief Legal Officer of DFS has resigned amidst this turmoil. Even so, Discover's stock outperformed competitors on a strong trading day and surged amid positive Q3 results, despite antitrust concerns for its proposed acquisition by Capital One. It revealed a strong outlook for the digital currency and payments sector.
