American Express, known for its premium credit cards, was the second-highest issuer of general-purpose credit cards in the U.S. in 2021 based on its $868 billion purchase volume, lagging just behind JPMorgan Chase & Co., according to a chart by Nilson Report. It reported better-than-expected second-quarter results in 2022, with revenue growing 31% year over year, to $13.4 billion. American Express’ valuation is reasonable considering its stable business operations and potential for growth, analysts say. In the second quarter, it reported continuing high levels of customer retention with historically low levels of delinquencies and write-offs. Therefore, American Express has been the favorite stock to buy for long-term investors.
