What the numbers say

American Express is a consumer finance name in the financials sector. Over the past year it returned -7.0%, against -13.0% over three months and -7.8% over one. It trades 8.1% below its 200-day average, so recent moves have not repaired the longer downtrend. Annualized volatility of 26.7% is moderate by single-stock standards.

Its worst peak-to-trough decline over the year was -23.9%, and it has traded a median $870M a day, the figure that decides whether a position can actually be entered and exited at posted prices. Its daily moves correlate 0.47 with the S&P 500 proxy, so it has been moving substantially on its own.
