AMEX CARD SPENDING ISN’T GROWING FAST ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THE BULLS

By

Telis Demos

, Writer, Heard on the Street

American Express headquarters on March 16, 2022. (Ben Hinder/Associated Press)

American Express was one of the strongest banking stocks around coming into this
quarterly report. That high bar seems to have set it up for disappointment.

Billed business, a key measure of Amex spending growth, grew by 8% in the second
quarter from a year earlier, the card company said Friday. That was well shy of
the 16% growth in the first quarter and the growth analysts expected, according
to estimates compiled by Visible Alpha.

Through yesterday, Amex’s shares had been up nearly 20% on the year. They were
trading almost 5% lower on Friday.
