Investment firm ValueAct Capital Management LP has taken a roughly $1 billion stake in American Express Co., according to a person familiar with the matter, the latest example of an activist investor targeting a blue-chip firm.
It isn't clear at this point if San Francisco-based ValueAct plans to agitate for changes at the big New York-based card company, which has been led by Chief Executive Kenneth Chenault since 2001.
AmEx has seen its stock price fall 13% this year due to two high-profile losses that are expected to take a big bite out of earnings for at least the next year.
The move by ValueAct, first reported by Bloomberg, sent shares of AmEx up more than 6%, to $80.05, on the New York Stock Exchange.
