American Express Stock Holds Steady as Earnings Guidance Supports High-Single-Digit Profit Expansion

American Express stock price hovered around $332.26 on August 28, 2026, marking a minor dip from its previous level of $336.16 on August 26, 2026.

The company's earnings per share are expected to fall within the range of $17.30 to $17.90 for the fiscal year 2026, with a consensus forecast of $17.67.

This guidance suggests a high-single-digit increase in profits compared to the current year, driven by card-member spending, lending balances, and fee-based revenue.

American Express also offers an annual dividend of $3.80, paid quarterly at $0.95 per share, which complements its earnings story and provides a predictable cash-return stream for income-focused shareholders.
