13. American Express Company (NYSE:AXP)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 71

Ahead of American Express Company’s (NYSE:AXP) earnings report, Cramer advised to listen to the conference call before making any trading decision.

“We recently featured American Express as part of its 150th birthday celebration. Now, this is a company that trades on new card signups, especially from younger people and I think that it’ll deliver on that strength when it reports on Thursday morning. Be careful though because American Express’ stock trades badly the morning it reports. Badly, meaning it doesn’t reflect the fundamentals one way or the other. So it might drop eight points or go up eight points and then reverse. I just want you to listen to the call before you pull the trigger. Trust me on this. I know I’m right.”

American Express (NYSE:AXP) provides various payment options. Its services include credit cards, charge cards, banking products, travel support, expense tracking, merchant tools, fraud protection, and loyalty programs.
