The NYSE is closed on September 26, 2026, placing American Express stock ahead of the next regular session after a USD 306.05 close. The shares gained 0.13 percent on the NYSE in the September 25 session. US markets ended higher as falling oil prices eased pressure on stocks, while Treasury yields stayed elevated.
September 26, 2026 ahead of the next session
The next regular NYSE session follows the September 25 close at USD 306.05. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished at 51,828.62, up 0.93 percent, while the S&P 500 rose 0.51 percent to 7,743.41. Asian cash markets and US regular trading are also closed on September 26, so the latest completed-session figures provide the market reference.
September 25, 2026 in figures
American Express Company (ISIN US0258161092, NYSE: AXP) rose less than the Dow, gaining 0.13 percent against the index's 0.93 percent advance. Investopedia reported that lower oil prices and declining Treasury yields supported the broader rebound.
The NYSE daily row showed an open of USD 307.00, a high of USD 307.01 and a low of USD 304.55. Volume was 201,530 shares, below the 3.95 million shares recorded on September 24. The stock remained below its 52-week high of USD 387.49 and above its 52-week low of USD 290.97.
September 26 outlook and analyst action
Truist Financial maintained a buy rating on September 23 while cutting its American Express price target to USD 370 from USD 375. MarketBeat said the firm kept its positive rating while reducing the target in its research report.
American Express therefore enters the next session with a recent broker target above the September 25 close. The September 25 market advance followed a decline in oil prices, although the 10-year Treasury yield remained near multi-year highs.
Dow close and payments stocks
The Dow's 0.93 percent gain exceeded American Express's 0.13 percent rise in the last completed session. The Dow closed at 51,828.62, the S&P 500 ended at 7,743.41, and the Nasdaq Composite finished at 27,068.72. CNBC attributed the session gains partly to easing oil prices despite continued bond-market pressure.
Mastercard gained 1.10 percent to USD 566.08, while Visa rose 1.79 percent to USD 367.98. Capital One Financial advanced 1.88 percent to USD 200.30, giving the broader card and consumer-finance group a stronger session than American Express.
