American Express sets USD 16,125 Series E dividend for American Express stock

American Express (ISIN US0258161092) declared a USD 16,125 dividend per Series E depositary share on October 27, 2026. The decision concerns the company's 6.450 percent Fixed Rate Reset Noncumulative Preferred Shares, Series E, rather than the common-share dividend already covered in the company's recent news cycle. The original announcement was published by American Express.

Preferred terms set the payout

The announced amount equals USD 16.12500 per related depositary share. American Express described the security as a fixed-rate reset instrument, so the declaration identifies both the security class and the cash amount rather than changing the company's common-share dividend policy.

What do the two dates mean?

The dividend is payable on December 15, 2026. Investors recorded as holders on December 1, 2026 are eligible for that payment under the terms stated in the October 27 announcement.

American Express keeps its core listing

American Express identifies itself as a global payments and premium lifestyle brand and lists its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange under ticker AXP. The preferred-share declaration adds a dated capital-markets event while leaving the latest common-share earnings and dividend coverage as separate company developments.

Two dates frame the payment

The record date comes two weeks before the scheduled payment date, giving eligible holders a clear administrative timetable for the Series E distribution. The announcement does not state that the payment changes the company's common-stock dividend.
