Annual EPS rose from $9.84 in 2022 to $11.21 in 2023, $14.01 in 2024 and $15.39 in 2025, a gain of about 56%. The first half of 2026 adds up to $8.81, about 14% more than the same period a year earlier. Q2 2026 set the highs in the table for both EPS and revenue. Quarterly revenue is up about 80% from the $10.9 billion of Q3 2021. Over the last 20 quarters, American Express beat the EPS estimate 16 times. The largest miss was Q1 2023, at 9.65% below, and the lowest EPS was $2.07 in Q4 2022.

American Express reported Q3 between October 17 and October 22 in each of the past five years. That points to mid- or late October 2026 for the next report. It will show whether the year-over-year gains of recent quarters continue into the second half.
