U.S. Bank and Fiserv Create Market-Leading, Integrated Agent Card Issuance
MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--U.S. Bank (NYSE: USB) and Fiserv (NYSE: FI) have entered into a partnership in which U.S. Bank's industry-leading Elan Financial Services credit card program will be integrated into the Credit Choice solution from Fiserv, with plans to introduce significant new capabilities later this year.
Credit Choice empowers financial institutions to deliver a digital-first, branded agent-bank credit card program for consumer and small business cardholders, currently serving more than 100 Fiserv financial institution clients. As part of the partnership, Credit Choice will be enhanced with the Elan Credit Card program to offer integrated digital technology that combines both debit and credit card account information for consumer and small business cardholders within each financial institution's digital card management solution.
This reimagined user experience will be more robust and engaging for the end user, as customers can access credit and debit card information and servicing all in a single place. In addition, financial institutions will have easier access to the tools they need to onboard and service their cardholders, reducing friction and improving the ability to easily reach new potential card relationships.
'Integrating an agent card into the client financial institution banking application is truly groundbreaking,' said Peter Klukken, head of credit card issuing for Elan Financial Services. 'We're excited about this relationship and look forward to offering a new, seamlessly integrated technology experience to even more banks and credit unions.'
The collaboration will accelerate this summer, with innovative, integrated technology underway and full conversion of the portfolio by the end of 2025. Throughout this time, Fiserv will continue to offer support, training, and program engagement, as well as onboard new financial institutions to Credit Choice.
'We're introducing a new level of digital card integration along with exceptional service and capabilities to the Credit Choice solution,' said Erik Wichita, head of Card Services at Fiserv. 'Our clients need self-service customer journeys and easy to navigate platforms for their cardholders to drive loyalty and increased usage. This collaboration brings two great industry leaders together for one solution.'
The enhanced Credit Choice program will be available to U.S.-based banks and credit unions via a new or existing relationship with Fiserv. Users of the new platform will have access to Elan's trusted suite of agent-issuing capabilities. Fiserv's digital card solutions for consumer and business card and expense management will be integrated in the first half of 2026.

Archer Aviation (ACHR) Plunges as $850M Share Sale Dilutes Stock
June 13 - Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) shares slid about 15% on Friday after the company sold $850 million of stock to support new infrastructure and an AI-based aviation software platform. The eVTOL maker sold 85 million shares at $10 each, lifting its pro forma liquidity to roughly $2 billion. The proceeds will back its Launch Edition program, including plans to provide air taxi services at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with ACHR. This follows an executive order establishing a U.S. pilot program for electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, which had earlier lifted Archer and rival Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY). Archer said it will deploy AI-driven flight management tools and expand infrastructure domestically and overseas. The company plans to display its Midnight eVTOL at the Paris Air Show, with the United Arab Emirates as an initial market. Archer highlighted its strengthened balance sheet but investors weighed dilution from the share sale against growth prospects. While interest in eVTOL services is rising amid urban mobility initiatives, regulatory and safety challenges persist. Market participants will watch execution on infrastructure build-out and technology rollout closely. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Why RH (RH) Stock Is Up Today
Shares of luxury furniture retailer RH (NYSE:RH) jumped 10.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported impressive first quarter 2025 results, which significantly blew past analysts' EPS and EBITDA estimates, though revenue missed slightly. While second-quarter revenue is expected to slow due to tariff-related disruptions, RH reaffirmed full-year guidance, projecting EBITDA margins above 20%. The company highlighted strong demand in Europe, with double-digit growth across its flagship Galleries in England, Munich, and Dusseldorf, indicating growing global appeal. It also provided constructive updates on how the tariff exposure was being managed, adding, "We have continued to shift sourcing out of China and expect receipts to decrease from 16% in Q1 to 2% in Q4, with a meaningful portion of the tariff absorbed by our vendor partners. We have also resourced a significant portion of our upholstered furniture to our own North Carolina factory. We are now projecting that 52% of our upholstered furniture will be produced in the United States and 21% will be produced in Italy by the end of fiscal 2025." Overall, this was a strong quarter, underscored by resilient margins, profitable growth, and strategic expansion in tough market conditions. Is now the time to buy RH? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. RH's shares are extremely volatile and have had 37 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for RH and indicate this news significantly impacted the market's perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 9 months ago when the stock gained 23.3% on the news that the company reported strong second-quarter earnings results. RH beat analysts' gross margin expectations. In addition, its revenue and EPS narrowly outperformed Wall Street's estimates. The result was encouraging, especially in a challenging housing market that has been frozen by high interest rates and waiting to thaw. Interestingly, the top line reflected market share gains in North America for RH's business. Also, the company was expanding to other regions, with plans for new locations in Paris, London, and Milan by 2026. The expansion underscores investments in growth opportunities that could benefit the business as the macro environment improves. Overall, this was an impressive quarter for the company. RH is down 50.8% since the beginning of the year, and at $194.27 per share, it is trading 57.3% below its 52-week high of $454.52 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of RH's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $790.34. Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we've identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.

Lockheed Martin, RTX, Kratos, and Northrop Grumman Shares Skyrocket, What You Need To Know
A number of stocks jumped in the pre-market session after Israel carried out significant strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, dramatically escalating fears of a broader conflict in the Middle East. Companies like Lockheed Martin, RTX, and Northrop Grumman saw gains as the market anticipated higher defense spending and new orders. This reaction contrasts with the broader market downturn, highlighting the "safe haven" appeal of defense stocks during times of global tension. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Among others, the following stocks were impacted: Defense Contractors company Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) jumped 7%. Is now the time to buy Lockheed Martin?

Defense Contractors company Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC) jumped 6.6%. Is now the time to buy Northrop Grumman? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. RTX's shares are not very volatile and have only had 5 moves greater than 5% over the last year. Moves this big are rare for RTX and indicate this news significantly impacted the market's perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 11 months ago when the stock gained 10% on the news that the company reported a "beat and raise" quarter. RTX blew past analysts' organic revenue expectations. Its revenue also outperformed Wall Street's estimates. That the company raised full year revenue and EPS expectations was icing on the cake. Overall, we think this was a really good quarter that should please shareholders. RTX is up 25.5% since the beginning of the year, and at $145.57 per share, has set a new 52-week high. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of RTX's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $2,171.
