Latest developments on American Express Company

Following a strong first quarter, American Express Co (AXP) continues to experience significant stock price movements. The company’s Q1 results, which surpassed estimates, showed an impressive 11% revenue increase to $15.8 billion, and a 39% rise in earnings per share (EPS) to $3.33. This financial boost was largely due to increased spending by card members, particularly on pricey premium cards and ‘front of cabin’ plane tickets. The company’s small-business strategy and the imminent introduction of more card ‘refreshes’ and fee increases also seem to be positively influencing the stock’s trajectory. However, the unexpected cancellation of some Amex credit cards has caused some market concern.
