Graseck also hiked her price target on the stock to $140 per share from $123, implying a 22.8% upside from Monday's close."We believe the strong revenue growth story at AXP remains intact," said Graseck, noting she expects revenue to grow by 8% in 2019 and 10% in 2020. That's up from 7% in both years.
