magnez2/iStock Unreleased via Getty Images The past seven months have been a roller coaster ride for American Express Company ( AXP ). Inflation continued to slow and got close to the 2 0% Fed target, but wars arose and pushed it up to its 20-month high of 3.8% . That is why I couldn't blame the market for taking a cautious stance despite my buy outlook in my previous coverage. Yet, I think it has potential opportunities that we may overlook as stagflation fears and oil market panic grip the stock market. AXP has some strengths to mitigate risks. Its price is also much cheaper today after its correction earlier this year. Technicals still show some caution, but buying opportunities are there. AXP Q1 2026: A Solid Start In the months that followed my previous coverage, inflation remained stubborn. It has even reaccelerated and roused fears among businesses, consumers, and investors. Softer demand, purchasing power, and production capacity are expected as caution emerges. However, consumer finance companies can still use the recent trend to its advantage. An established company like American Express Company or Amex may capture more demand as more consumers and businesses see the benefits of credit cards. That is why its strength continued at the start of the year. In Q1 2026, its operating revenue amounted to $18.9B , up by 11.4% YoY from $17.0B. Thia YoY growth was a bit stronger than in my previous coverage at 11.0%, which shows its sustained growth. Various factors contributed to it, such as the policy easing cycle by many central banks during the second half of 2025. Because consumers are typically price and interest-rate sensitive, credit card demand and transaction volumes rose. You can see in its credit card statics that network volumes and credit cards in force increased noticeably on YoY basis. And because its credit card holders increased, it also enjoyed more fees. Credit Card Statistics (AXP 10-Q) Going back to its revenues, you can see that interest incom...

Nestlé SA Chief Executive Officer Philipp Navratil said lower coffee and cocoa prices should help improve margins this year as the foodmaker works to reignite growth. “Net-net commodity prices or input costs are favorable in 2026 compared with 2025,” Navratil said at a consumer conference in Paris on Tuesday. “That’s why you should expect margins to be higher and improving through the year as thos...
Nestlé SA Chief Executive Officer Philipp Navratil said lower coffee and cocoa prices should help improve margins this year as the foodmaker works to reignite growth. “Net-net commodity prices or input costs are favorable in 2026 compared with 2025,” Navratil said at a consumer conference in Paris on Tuesday. “That’s why you should expect margins to be higher and improving through the year as those better costs in those two commodities are coming through.” Coffee and cocoa inflation drove up Nestlé’s cost base in the past year, prompting the maker of Nescafé coffee and KitKat candy bars to raise prices across many markets. While those commodities have become less costly, the company is still monitoring the potential impact from geopolitical tensions, Navratil said. “You have obviously some inflationary pressure from other places like the Middle East crisis that we will still have to see,” he said, adding that the company is hedged through the first half of the year. Nestlé plans an additional 600 million Swiss francs ($763 million) in advertising and promotional spending this year, reinvesting savings generated through cost efficiencies into its “growth platforms,” the CEO said. “The goal is to accelerate those businesses and drive high single-digit growth.”

The key to understanding the investment case for Viking Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VKTX) stock lies in the benefits of having a weight-loss drug, namely VK2735, in development in both subcutaneous (injection) and oral forms. It differentiates Viking from competitors such as Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) and may offer benefits over Novo Nordisk's (NYSE: NVO) Wegovy (semaglutide). Moreover, a major near-term eve...
The key to understanding the investment case for Viking Therapeutics (NASDAQ: VKTX) stock lies in the benefits of having a weight-loss drug, namely VK2735, in development in both subcutaneous (injection) and oral forms. It differentiates Viking from competitors such as Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) and may offer benefits over Novo Nordisk's (NYSE: NVO) Wegovy (semaglutide). Moreover, a major near-term event is approaching, which will change how investors view weight-loss drugs. The investment rationale is based on successful Phase 3 trial results for VK2735 in subcutaneous (currently in Phase 2, with results expected from mid-2027) and in oral (with Phase 3 expected to start in late 2026). While those timelines might not seem exciting, investors should note that Viking is due to release results from an extremely important Phase 1 maintenance clinical in the third quarter of this year. In fact, these results could make or break the investment case for the stock. Continue reading
