American Express ($AXP+WL) stock has lagged its peers and the broader market this year, down approximately 6% year-to-date while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average have each climbed 13%. The financial services sector overall has seen a 5% return. Despite this underperformance, recent Q2 earnings revealed a 10% year-over-year revenue increase to $19.6 billion and an 11% rise in earnings per share to $4.53, beating analyst estimates.
American Express raised its full-year revenue growth forecast to 10%, up from its previous 9% to 10% range, and maintained its earnings per share guidance of $17.30 to $17.90. However, expenses rose 12% in the quarter to $14.5 billion, outpacing revenue growth, a point of concern for some investors. Management cited increased spending on customer engagement and acquisition as necessary for long-term growth. Currently, only 48% of Wall Street analysts rate American Express a buy, significantly lower than the 93% for Mastercard and Visa.
