American Express Company (NYSE:AXP) is one of the top credit services stocks to buy as the US cuts interest rates. On October 20, William Blair analyst Christopher Kennedy reiterated a Buy rating on American Express Company (NYSE:AXP), citing its strong market position and growth trajectory. The company continues to lead in the premium card segment, with shares trading at a discount to the S&P 500 despite delivering above-market growth and superior return on equity.
