American Express Earnings: Net Interest Income and Card Fees Drive Double-Digit Net Income Growth
Wide-moat-rated American Express reported strong second-quarter earnings as it benefited from strong net interest income growth and the sale of Accertify. Net revenue increased 8% from last year and 3.4% from last quarter to $16.3 billion. Earnings per share increased 44% to $4.15, or 21% to $3.49 when excluding the gain on sale from Accertify. As we incorporate these results, we do not expect to materially alter our $197 fair value estimate. We see the shares as modestly overvalued.
