American Express Stabilizes After Weaker Q2 Earnings

American Express stock has stabilized after a softer second-quarter earnings report and updated guidance.

The company reported $18.55 billion in revenue, a 12.8% year-over-year increase, but fell short of analyst expectations by 5.8%, making it the weakest performer among its peers in Q2 2026.

American Express reaffirmed its full-year guidance of 9 to 10% revenue growth and projected earnings per share (EPS) in a range of $17.30 to $17.90.

The company's shares have been impacted by the shortfall, with a 3.2% decline since the earnings release, but remain within a context of solid growth, according to sector data as of early September 2026.
