American Express Company's share price was $332.60 at the close on 4 November 2026. It has been stalling near its high for 1 week. That is 2.1% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 9 weeks running. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $292 and $383, and at that close it sat 45% of the way up from that low. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +441% while the S&P 500 moved +261%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 4 September 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does American Express pay? American Express Company paid $3.67 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.95 for Sep 2026. At today's price of $332.60 that is a yield of 1.10%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is American Express on?

## Is American Express profitable? American Express Company earned $3.6 B of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +27.2% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 5th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $10.7 B. Over 4 years profit has grown 7.8% a year on average. That is 19.1% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $2.9 B. For the full year, FY25 profit was $10.7 B (+7.1% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +11.3% on a year earlier and the margin moved +2.4 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +15.9% and revenue +11.6%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does American Express make, and is it growing? American Express Company reported $19.1 B of income in the Sep 2026 quarter, +11.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 11.2% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $67.0 B. The last four reported quarters add to $72.9 B. FY25 revenue was $67.0 B, +10.2% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +11.6% on average, against 11.2% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing at about the same pace as its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +11.6%, against +10.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +16.1%, against +11.3% a year (accelerating). ## How much does American Express keep from what it earns? American Express Company's net margin was 19.1% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 2.4 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 14.6% and 18.1%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## How many of American Express' loans have gone bad? American Express Company does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report. Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up. ## How fast is American Express' loan book growing? American Express Company's revenue was $67.0 B in FY25, +10.2% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +11.3% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 19.1%, +2.4 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Quarterly loan-quality figures are missing here, so revenue growth and margin are the two we watch. ## What is American Express' P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? American Express Company's P/BV is 6.1×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 61% of past readings. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 5.8×, over 5.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved −9.8%. Price and book value moved together, so the multiple stayed in its range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +13.5% a year; about +11.2% a year came from book-value growth and about +2.3 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus book-value growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the American Express business getting better or worse? American Express Company's business is growing steadily. Revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive throughout, and ROE is steady at 33.8%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: steady growth with healthy returns is how a business compounds over time. ## How much does American Express earn on its equity and assets? American Express Company earned a return on equity of 32% in FY25. Its lowest yearly reading on file was 29% in FY23. On its assets, every $100 earned about $4.03, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together. That is above the level a bank needs to grow its net worth steadily. Why ROE moved: profit grew 7.8% a year over 4 years while net worth grew more slowly. When earnings recover faster than net worth builds up, ROE climbs off its low. ## Does American Express have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the American Express shareholding pattern? 2.1% of American Express Company's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.1 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is American Express from balance-sheet trouble? For American Express Company, the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does American Express rank in its industry? 53.9 out of 100, rank 17 of 28 in Credit Services, with 80% of the evidence available. American Express Company scores 53.9 out of 100 against the 28 companies it is compared with in Credit Services, ranking 17. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 16.8 + 18.1 + 9.3 + 9.7 = 53.9. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is American Express compared with? American Express ranks 17 of 28 Credit Services companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 53.9 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.

American Express Company's FY25 net margin was 16.0%, against a 5-year range of 14.6% to 18.1%: the middle of its own range, neither a peak nor a low. The latest quarter was 19.1%. Comparing margins with a company's own long history is a good way to see where it is in its cycle (as of 4 November 2026). ### What could break the American Express story? Biggest thing to watch: the price is not yet in a clear uptrend, so timing is the risk more than the business. On price, this page treats a rise as over when the share price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row (as of 4 November 2026). ### Is American Express a stock worth studying right now? What the numbers show: American Express Company's earnings have grown faster than its share price. Earnings per share grew +9.8% in a year while the price moved −9.8%. The main open question: the next one or two quarters of results. Every number on this page is worked out by code from the published figures, with no forecasts and no price opinions (as of 4 November 2026). ## Lists
