Amex Stock Holds Firm Amid Double-Digit Revenue Growth

American Express stock is holding firm at $336 following its latest earnings report for the period ended July 24, 2026. The payment services group delivered double-digit revenue growth and raised confidence with clear full-year EPS guidance in the high teens per share.

The company posted quarterly revenue of $19.64 billion, slightly below the $19.70 billion level that analysts had forecast but still representing a 10.0% increase compared to the same quarter a year earlier. Earnings per share jumped to $4.53, exceeding the consensus estimate of $4.41 by $0.12 and underlining the momentum in its business performance.

American Express has set guidance for its fiscal 2026 earnings per share in a range between 17.300 and 17.900, with sell-side projections clustering around EPS of 17.67 for the full year. This suggests that analysts see its targets as realistic given the pace of recent quarterly performance and the strength of its cardmember spending trends.
