Is Discover Financial Services Stock a Buy?

The financial sector has seen more than its share of challenges recently. Not only has it had to deal with falling interest rates that have taken away some of its ability to earn interest income, but it's also running into potential problems with customers who've suddenly lost their primary means of financial support. For a company like Discover Financial Services (NYSE: DFS) that maintains its own credit card network as well as offering banking services, that combination has been a difficult one to solve.

Discover Financial remains a long-term success story, as the stock emerged from the financial crisis in the late 2000s stronger than ever and delivered strong gains throughout the 2010s. Now, though, investors want to know what the future will hold for the banking and financial company. Here, we'll look at Discover Financial to see if its stock is a buy right now.
