Company News
Bank of America and American Express, two of Warren Buffett's largest financial holdings, delivered strong returns over the past decade. A $1,000 investment in Bank of America 10 years ago would have grown to $4,332, a 333% return, whilst the same investment in American Express would have reached $5,915, a 492% return. Both outperformed the S&P 500's 235% return over the same period. Bank of America's recovery from the financial crisis drove performance, with deposits exceeding $2 trillion and 2025 net income of $30.5 billion, up 12.45% year-on-year. The stock trades at 12 times earnings. American Express capitalized on premium card growth amongst younger consumers, with Gen Z and millennials now representing 60% of new acquisitions. The stock trades at 19 times earnings.
Robinhood has launched a $695-a-year Platinum credit card, challenging established premium cards like the $895 American Express Platinum. The card, made from 99.9% pure platinum, is marketed as invite-only though anyone can request access online. Cash back earned can be redeemed for statement credits or cash that can be reinvested through Robinhood brokerage accounts. The company says the card targets customers who already use its investing platform, which launched in 2013 and caters to younger, newer investors. Credit card experts suggest the Robinhood card's appeal depends on platform usage. Ryan Smith from Upgraded Points noted that whilst Robinhood offers a lower annual fee, American Express provides superior rewards flexibility and perks overall. The card represents Robinhood's attempt to compete in the premium credit card market long dominated by American Express, Chase and Capital One.
American Express completed several large fixed income offerings totaling over $3.5b in recent days. The capital raise coincides with a company focus on premium card growth and a shift in marketing toward higher end and younger customers. Leadership is emphasizing long term premium positioning while seeking to attract younger, high spend clients. American Express (NYSE: AXP) is currently trading at $349.63, with the share price up 11.9% over the past year and 193.2% over the past five years...
Mastercard and American Express reported strong earnings, with Mastercard posting 18% revenue growth and 22% net income growth in the fourth quarter, whilst American Express saw 10% revenue growth and 15% earnings-per-share growth. Both companies guided towards continued double-digit growth in 2026. Despite the robust results, shares of both companies fell on Friday, outpacing broader market declines. The drop appears driven by political anxiety rather than operational concerns, as the White House floats a potential 10% cap on credit card rates. Mastercard reported contained expenses and strong dollar volume growth, particularly in its high-margin services business. American Express highlighted continued spending growth amongst higher-income customers and maintained best-in-class credit metrics despite rising consumer debt levels across the industry.
The first is a famous name in the credit card sphere. The second produces a drink most of us have quaffed many times in our lives. 10 stocks we like better than Berkshire Hathaway › It's hard to believe Warren Buffett is no longer the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) . But with 2026 now underway, Buffett has reduced his role at the conglomerate to chairman of the board. As one of the most celebrated investors in modern market history, his legacy lives on -- not least because many of the holdings in Berkshire's equity portfolio are his ideas. Here's a brief look at two of the better buy-and-hold picks: finance sector titan American Express (NYSE: AXP) and beverage king Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) Amex has been in the news lately, and not for the right reasons (at least, as far as shareholders are concerned). In mid-January, President Trump announced he wants to impose a temporary 10% cap on credit card interest rates. Amex, which is both the issuer of the credit and the processor of transactions on its plastic, might have to comply with this rather significant new rule. This, however, is a big "if." At least on paper, the U.S. president does not have the unilateral authority to impose such a limitation on the credit card industry. Nevertheless, cautious investors sold out of Amex and its fellow card-processing giants after Trump's pronouncement. Given the uncertainty, it creates an instant and compelling buy-on-weakness opportunity for the stock. After all, Amex as a company is unique -- no plastic comes anywhere near the prestige of its legendary Black Card -- and it's both an effective issuer and processor. With that combination, it earns interest on cardholder balances and a small piece of every one of the cardholders' transactions. The numbers tell the tale. In Amex's most recently reported quarter, the company grew revenue by an impressive 11% year over year to $18.4 billion. Headline net income advanced even more aggressively, popping by 16% to $2.9 billion. And that qualified as a typical quarter for this ever-profitable operator. Coca-Cola is, of course, the creator and purveyor of its namesake drink, although this is only one item within a huge portfolio. The company also owns Minute Maid orange juice, the Costa coffee brand, and Dasani water, among many other products. It's hard to find any grocery store, supermarket, or restaurant anywhere in the world that doesn't stock Coca-Cola products. This gives the beverage's maker a near-unparalleled scope and reach among consumers. This, plus the fact that its drinks require little innovation, makes it a cash-generating machine, if not a hotly growing enterprise given its size and reach.
