Results arrive on October 23

American Express is scheduled to release its third-quarter 2026 results before an earnings call at 8:30 a.m. ET on October 23, 2026. The company said the financial materials are scheduled for publication at approximately 7:00 a.m. ET, according to its investor-relations release dated September 23, 2026, which is linked through American Express.

That date gives the next clear test for spending trends, credit quality and the returns from the company's premium-card strategy. The scheduled report also places the current analyst debate ahead of a fresh set of company figures.

Stock remains inside its yearly range

The NYSE quote stood at USD 310.57 at 10:52 a.m. ET on October 13, 2026, down 0.31 percent from the USD 311.53 prior close. The intraday range was USD 308.24 to USD 314.26, while the 52-week range was USD 290.97 to USD 387.49.

The current NYSE price is 6.87 percent above the yearly low and 19.85 percent below the yearly high. American Express therefore sits materially closer to the lower end of its annual range than to the upper end, a useful chart marker before the October results.
