American Express Company’s Quarterly Earnings Point To Strong Consumer Spending In Face of Omicron – $AXP $DIA

By John F. Heerdink, Jr.

Reportedly, American Express Company’s (AXP) quarterly profit beat market estimates as consumers continued to spend to dine out during the holidays, fading the company’s fears of a big impact from the Omicron variant. The company forecast 2022 net revenue growth of between 18% and 20% and earnings per share of $9.25 to $9.65.

“When you think about the Delta variant in 2021, and now as you see Omicron in early 2022, each of those impacts has been a little milder than the one before, and we believe shorter in duration,” stated Chief Financial Officer Jeff Campbell.

For the quarter ending Dec. 31, AmEx’s revenue excluding interest expense surged by 30% as spending on travel and entertainment more than doubled. Net income stood at $1.7 billion, or $2.18 per share, higher than analysts’ estimates of $1.87 per share. AmEx executives informed that the credit card giant would probably not launch a cryptocurrency card, but is considering using the digital asset as a possible redemption option in the future.
