American Express Unfazed by US Government Shutdown

Despite the ongoing US government shutdown, American Express CEO Steven Squeri has assured investors that its operations remain unaffected, with no material financial impact reported as of Q3 2025. This stability is attributed to the company’s robust customer base, comprised mainly of higher-income individuals who continue to show stable spending habits and minimal delinquencies. Squeri, referencing past government shutdowns, highlighted a resilient consumer landscape that has not been significantly affected by this latest fiscal standoff.
