Amex Volume Dips to 109th as Shares Climb 2.14% on Earnings Resilience

On September 4, 2025, American Express (AXP) recorded a trading volume of $0.82 billion, a 26.75% drop from the prior day, placing it 109th in market activity. The stock closed 2.14% higher, signaling investor confidence amid reduced liquidity.

The company’s Q2 performance highlighted resilience, with $13.24 billion in revenues, a 9.4% year-over-year increase that aligned with analyst forecasts. Analysts, including Jim Cramer, emphasized AXP’s appeal to younger demographics and its strong credit quality as key differentiators. These factors contributed to a 2.5% post-earnings rally in the stock, underscoring market optimism about its long-term potential.

Recent institutional activity, such as increased holdings by Smead Capital Management and stake adjustments by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, reflects mixed but active investor interest. While some investors trimmed positions, others viewed AXP’s earnings consistency and strategic advantages as compelling for long-term portfolios.
