    Appeal

    Discover Financial could be a good fit for investors looking for a play in financials following the recent interest rate announcement.

    Even in the prevailing low-rate environment, three analysts raised their price targets an average of 4.7 percent following their Q1 earnings release.

    Discover has already rebounded 2 percent from lows hit Thursday after the Federal Reserve Bank’s announcement that rates would stay put. Shares traded Friday at $52.64 two hours before the close.
