What the numbers say

American Express is a consumer finance name in the financials sector. Over the past year it returned +11.9%, against +10.2% over three months and -3.1% over one. It sits just 0.7% above its 200-day average — technically in an uptrend, but without much room. Annualized volatility of 26.9% is moderate by single-stock standards.

Its worst peak-to-trough decline over the year was -23.9%, and it has traded a median $940M a day — the figure that decides whether a position can actually be entered and exited at posted prices. Its daily moves correlate 0.46 with the S&P 500 proxy, so it has been moving substantially on its own.
