American Express Shares Get a Lift on Delta Friday -- WSJ
Dow Jones2026/10/09 21:56By Ben Glickman American Express shares ended higher Friday, thanks to a boost from Delta Airlines. Delta Airlines' third-quarter results said that: New cards and spending on Amex and Delta's co-brand cards each grew over 10%. The carrier expects to receive over $9 billion this year from Amex as part of the two companies' co-branded cards, up from $8.2 billion last year. That helped Amex investors shrug off a reprimand and fine from regulators. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency said it was fining Amex $350 million after it had found Amex's compliance program for financial crimes had been inadequate.
