American Express scores 82 out of 100 on Intrinsiqq's quality score, a weighted blend of 8 metrics each scored 0 to 100, which rates it a high-quality business on these measures. Quality and price are separate questions: even a great business can be a poor investment if you overpay, so read this score alongside the valuation. The metric-by-metric breakdown is on this scorecard.

Intrinsiqq's quality score weighs profitability, returns on capital, revenue growth, and balance-sheet strength, using measures suited to banks, insurers and other financial companies (where free-cash-flow and operating-margin metrics do not apply), each computed from AXP's SEC filings rather than opinion or sentiment. A higher score means a more durable, capital-efficient business; it is not a buy or sell signal.

American Express runs a net margin of about 16.8%. Revenue has grown at roughly 16.4% a year recently. High, stable margins usually point to pricing power and operating discipline. Margins are most telling next to growth and returns on capital, all of which feed this quality score. This is analysis from SEC filings, not investment advice.
