American Express Company 실적 발표
Raising full-year revenue growth guidance to 10%
American Express reported strong Q2 2026 with 10% revenue growth and EPS of $4.53, beating internal expectations. Management raised full-year revenue guidance to 10% but maintained EPS guidance, choosing to reinvest the outperformance in marketing, technology, and the proposed acquisition of The Fork. Platinum refresh drove accelerated spend and card fee momentum, while credit remained very strong. Portfolio transfers of Lowe's and Amazon co-brands will create temporary NII headwinds. Raised FY26 revenue growth guidance to 10% (from prior expectations), but kept EPS at $17.30–$17.90 due to reinvestment.

- Platinum refresh is driving fastest growth in US consumer portfolio; card fees expected to accelerate to high-teens in Q4.
- VCE ratio guided to 44–45% for FY26, higher than original plan due to stronger-than-expected spend.
- Transferred Lowe's co-brand portfolio; Amazon transfer coming in Q3; NII will be impacted ~2.5pps in Q4 but earnings impact negligible.

Transfer of small business co-brand portfolios (Lowe's, Amazon) will reduce NII growth by 2.5pps in Q4, but net income impact is negligible because foregone economics are offset by lower VCE.
근거
“the impact to the NII line is going to be 2.5%. This would be a headwind until we lap it. Although it impacts NII, the impact to net income and earnings is really negligible.”
Platinum refresh drove a 600bps acceleration in US consumer spend, shifting the VCE ratio higher than originally expected (now 44-45% for FY26).
