- What they said
- AXP reported record Q3 2026 revenues of $20 billion, up 9% YoY, with reported EPS of $5.42 and adjusted EPS of $4.68. Results included a gain from the Global Business Travel transaction closing, partially offset by a $336 million restructuring charge targeting ~5% global workforce reduction. The OCC civil money penalty and legal expenses impacted adjusted EPS but not full-year guidance. New Airbnb partnership expands Amex Travel program to 1 million+ listings.
- Guidance
- Management reaffirmed 10% revenue growth guidance for 2026 while raising EPS guidance to $18.30-$18.60 reported ($17.60-$17.90 adjusted). The OCC fine and remediation costs are not expected to affect 2027 guidance.
