American Express reported FY2025 total revenues net of interest expense of $72.2 billion, up 10% year over year, and net income of $10.8 billion. The financial engine is broad but connected: higher cardmember spending supports discount revenue, revolving balances support net interest income, and premium products support fast-growing net card fees. The result is a payments company with bank-like credit exposure but unusually strong brand, data, and loyalty economics.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway owns over 20% of American Express. He loves the company because its pristine brand creates an incredible moat, and it has massive pricing power over both its wealthy consumers and retail merchants.
No. Because Amex explicitly targets high-income, 'prime' credit score customers, its loan loss and default rates during recessions are significantly lower than standard consumer banks like Capital One or Discover.
