AmEx may be target, especially of Citigroup - report

NEW YORK, March 29 (Reuters) - Citigroup chairman Sandy
Weill may be interested in purchasing credit card giant American Express (AXP.N), according to a report in Business Week magazine.

Investors said that Citigroup, with assets of $900 billion
and a market value of $230 billion, could potentially afford
AmEx, which has assets of $155 billion and a market capitalization of $53 billion, the report said.

The article cited a money manager who said that American
Express could fetch a total of about $55 per share. Another
manager said the company is worth $70 per share.

Shares of American Express closed at $38.96 on the New York
Stock Exchange on Thursday, below a 52-week high of $62.81 and above a low of $34.25.

Morgan Stanley Dean Witter (MWD.N) and American International Group (AIG.N) are also in the running for AmEx, the report said.

American Express officials were not immediately available for comment.
