AmEx profit jumps on strong holiday season spending

American Express reported a 12% jump in fourth-quarter profit on Friday, as more consumers swiped cards during the holiday season for travel and online shopping.
American Express reported a significant increase in quarterly profit on January 24, 2025, driven by robust spending on its credit cards, particularly from its affluent customer base. The company's net income rose to $1.93 billion, or $2.62 per share, for the fourth quarter, up from $1.57 billion, or $2.07 per share, in the same period the previous year. This performance exceeded Wall Street expectations, with adjusted earnings per share of $2.65 against the expected $2.56. The growth was supported by a 7% increase in total network volumes to $426.6 billion, reflecting strong consumer spending despite economic uncertainties. Additionally, American Express benefited from a 13% rise in billed business and a 17% increase in interest income, although provisions for credit losses also increased to $1.44 billion from $1.03 billion, indicating a cautious approach to potential future defaults.
