Abstract
We evaluate American Express prediction models with Modular Neural Network (Market Direction Analysis) and Lasso Regression1,2,3,4 and conclude that the AXP stock is predictable in the short/long term. According to price forecasts for (n+6 month) period: The dominant strategy among neural network is to Hold AXP stock.

AXP Target Price Prediction Modeling Methodology
We consider American Express Stock Decision Process with Lasso Regression where A is the set of discrete actions of AXP stock holders, F is the set of discrete states, P : S × F × S → R is the transition probability distribution, R : S × F → R is the reaction function, and γ ∈ [0, 1] is a move factor for expectation.1,2,3,4
F(Lasso Regression)5,6,7= X R(Modular Neural Network (Market Direction Analysis)) X S(n):→ (n+6 month)
n:Time series to forecast
p:Price signals of AXP stock
j:Nash equilibria
k:Dominated move
a:Best response for target price

Conclusions
American Express assigned short-term B1 & long-term B1 forecasted stock rating. We evaluate the prediction models Modular Neural Network (Market Direction Analysis) with Lasso Regression1,2,3,4 and conclude that the AXP stock is predictable in the short/long term. According to price forecasts for (n+6 month) period: The dominant strategy among neural network is to Hold AXP stock.
