American Express' Customer Spend Untouched by Uncertainty, Travel Bookings Reach Highs -- Market Talk

Dow Jones2025-04-17

1139 ET - American Express saw a deceleration in airline spending in the latest quarter, but people continue booking more flights as the credit-card company's customer base remains untouched by macro uncertainty, CEO Stephen Squeri says on an analyst call, citing a highest-ever number of travel bookings, including a high in international bookings from its travel-related services. Despite a lack of confidence in the economy, Squeri says, the company's card members are still spending and "they're not spending off what's in the market." Squeri adds that through the 11 financial crises he's endured with the company, he has not seen such events become a "determining driver from a credit-crunch perspective" for Amex.
