Joabar Raymond Buy
Grp. Pres., Global Comm. Serv.
23 shares
$4,054
@ $176.26
Significance 4/10

AXP Group Pres. Raymond sold 40 shares across 2 transactions in Mar 2026, after 7 purchases totaling 23 shares since Sep 2023.

Joabar Raymond, Group President of Global Communication Services at American Express, executed a multi-phase transaction filing that encompasses 7 separate purchases of 23 total shares between September 2023 and April 2025 (totaling $4,054.07), followed by 2 separate sales of 40 total shares in March 2026 (totaling $12,256.72). The net effect reduced his holdings by 17 shares to 1,486 shares. His sales in early March 2026 occurred at $309.85 and $301.27 per share; the current price is $299.96, placing the stock -22.1% from its 52-week high and down -15.3% over the trailing 30 days. His prior sell at AXP on 2025-02-05 was well-timed (the stock fell -13.1% in the 90 days following), and across his cross-ticker history, his 7 prior sells generated a 66.67% well-timed rate with an average 90-day return of -5.0%. The filing reveals sustained but modest accumulation followed by liquidation at historically elevated valuations relative to current pricing.

Lieberman Quinn Jessica Sell
EVP - Controller
3,032 shares
$909,661
@ $300.02
Significance 7/10

EVP Controller Lieberman Quinn Jessica sold 3,032 shares (92.2% of holdings) of AXP at $300.02; stock down 21.2% from 52-week high

Lieberman Quinn Jessica, EVP Controller of American Express, executed a substantial reduction in AXP holdings, selling 3,032 shares at $300.02 on 2026-03-06 and retaining only 258 shares post-transaction. This represents a 92.2% reduction relative to her pre-transaction holdings of 3,290 shares. The sale occurred as AXP trades 21.2% below its 52-week high of $384.89 and down 15.6% over the prior 30 days, consistent with near-term weakness in the stock. Her prior two sales of AXP (2025-02-26 and 2024-05-06) each showed negative 90-day returns, establishing a pattern where her AXP exits have preceded further declines. Against this backdrop, a near-complete liquidation by the controller—a financial steward role—warrants investor attention as to whether internal accounting perspectives or forward guidance informed the timing.

Joabar Raymond Sell
Grp. Pres., Global Comm. Serv.
14,000 shares
$4,769,396
@ $340.67
Significance 6/10

Grp. Pres. sells 14,000 shares (61.7% of holdings) for $4.8M at avg $340.67; prior 4 of 5 AXP trades well-timed

Joabar Raymond, Group President of Global Communications Services at American Express, executed 4 separate sales totaling 14,000 shares for $4,769,395.88 on 2026-02-19, reducing his holdings from 22,702 to 8,702 shares (a 61.7% reduction). The blended average sale price of $340.67 sits $5.51 below the current price of $346.18, placing the execution near recent resistance levels while the stock remains 10.1% below its 52-week high. Notably, Raymond's prior same-ticker trading history shows 4 of 5 trades were well-timed at the 90-day mark, including his most recent AXP buy on 2025-04-09 (which realized +21.2% over 90 days), suggesting a demonstrated pattern of disciplined entry and exit decisions at this specific holding. The substantial reduction in stake size—disposing of more than three-fifths of his position—represents a material change in his economic exposure to American Express.

Grosfield Howard Sell
Group Pres., U.S. Cons. Serv.
8,134 shares
$2,820,302
@ $346.73
Significance 5/10

Grosfield Howard sells 8,134 AXP shares at $346.73 ($2.8M), reducing holdings 46.3%; stock down 12.3% from 52-week high.

Grosfield Howard, Group President of U.S. Consumer Services, executed a substantial sale of 8,134 shares at $346.73, reducing his AXP holdings by 46.3% from 17,567 to 9,433 shares. The sale occurred when the stock is trading 12.3% below its 52-week high and down 5.8% over the prior 30 days, suggesting the transaction took place during a period of weakness. Historically, Howard's two prior sales at AXP (May 2025 and January 2024) were followed by positive stock returns at both the 30-day and 90-day marks, indicating a pattern of selling into rallies rather than ahead of declines. With the company showing solid fundamentals—$18.4B in quarterly revenue, 9.5% annual growth, and a P/E of 20.60—this mid-tenure reduction in a leadership position's stake warrants observation for any signals about near-term management sentiment.

Radhakrishnan Ravikumar Sell
Chief Information Officer
15,000 shares
$5,348,672
@ $356.58
Significance 6/10

CIO Ravikumar sold 15,000 AXP shares (62.6% of holdings) for $5.3M at $356.58 average

Radhakrishnan Ravikumar, Chief Information Officer, executed 2 separate sales totaling 15,000 shares for $5,348,671.62 on 2026-02-09, reducing his holdings from 23,945 shares to 8,945 shares—a material 62.6% reduction. The blended average price of $356.58 was below the current price of $363.20 by $6.62 per share. Notably, his prior AXP sale on 2025-02-05 proved well-timed, with a 90-day return of -13.7% (the stock declined after his sale), and this same timing pattern held across his cross-ticker track record with a 100% well-timed rate on 1 prior sell. The stock is trading near its 52-week high ($384.89), having declined 5.6% from that peak, which provides context for the magnitude of this liquidation relative to his remaining position.

Seeger Laureen Sell
Chief Legal Officer
12,737 shares
$4,597,930
@ $360.99
Significance 4/10

CLO Seeger Laureen sold 12,737 shares of AXP at $360.99 for $4.6M; sold -58.6% of holdings after consistent gains from prior AXP sales.

Chief Legal Officer Seeger Laureen sold 12,737 shares at $360.99, reducing holdings from 21,738 to 9,001 shares (-58.6% of pre-transaction holdings). The sale was executed at a price -5.6% below the 52-week high of $384.89. Her prior trade history at AXP spans four sales between February 2024 and August 2025, with all four showing positive 90-day returns (ranging from +13.8% to +22.3%), though none were well-timed by the metric of the stock declining after her sales. American Express reports strong fundamentals with $18.4B quarterly revenue and annual growth of +9.5%, though the current price of $363.20 is -3.3% down over 30 days. The magnitude of the position reduction and the executed price relative to recent peaks warrant monitoring alongside the company's financial trajectory.

Significance 5/10

Group Pres. Anna Marrs sold 27,425 AXP shares at $350.01, reducing holdings by 57.4% to 20,393 shares for $9.6M.

Anna Marrs, Group President, executed a substantial sale of 27,425 shares at $350.01 on 2026-02-05, reducing her AXP holdings by 57.4% to 20,393 shares. The transaction occurs at $350.01 while the current price stands at $359.15, placing the sale 6.7% below the 52-week high of $384.89. Critically, her prior five trades at AXP showed a timing pattern of 0 of 5 well-timed sells at the 90-day mark, with most recent sales in March and July 2025 failing to precede stock declines. The cross-ticker track record similarly shows a 0.00% well-timed rate across 9 prior sells, with an average 90-day return of +5.4%, indicating her historical sells have occurred before subsequent price appreciation rather than declines.

@ $356.91
Significance 6/10

Denise Pickett sold 23,385 shares of AXP for $8.3M, reducing holdings by 75.1%; prior AXP sales mostly poorly timed.

Denise Pickett, President of Enterprise Shared Services, sold 23,385 shares (23.4K shares) of American Express at $356.91 on 2026-02-05 for a total of $8,346,340.35 ($8.3M), reducing her holdings from 31,138 to 7,753 shares. This represents a -75.1% reduction in her position. Her prior trades at AXP have shown a poor 90-day timing record, with only 1 of 5 prior sells being well-timed (20.00% timing rate); her most recent AXP sale on 2025-10-22 returned +0.6% over 30 days and +0.4% over 90 days, while a year-ago sale on 2024-01-30 (repeated three times) returned +7.6% and +17.1% over the same windows. The current stock price of $359.15 is -6.7% from its 52-week high of $384.89 and down 5.0% over 30 days, suggesting the insider is selling into a declining environment relative to recent peaks.

Rutledge Elizabeth Sell
Chief Marketing Officer

Significance 6/10

CMO Rutledge sold 50,000 AXP shares (36.9% of holdings) for $18.0M on 2025-10-31 near 52-week highs

Rutledge Elizabeth, Chief Marketing Officer of American Express, executed 6 separate sales totaling 50,000 shares for $18,010,684.08 at a blended average price of $360.21 on 2025-10-31, reducing her holdings from 135,576 to 85,576 shares. The transactions were priced very close to the stock's 52-week high of $361.67, with the current price at $360.49, indicating the sales occurred at peak valuation levels. In the context of a 90-day upswing of +22.0% and a 30-day gain of +9.2%, this substantial reduction in her equity stake—representing 36.9% of pre-transaction holdings—occurred after significant recent appreciation in the stock's price.

Pickett Denise Sell
Pres., Enterprise Shared Serv.
5,000 shares
$1,753,650
@ $350.73
Significance 5/10

Denise Pickett sold 5,000 AXP shares at $350.73; stock at 52-week high, 1 of 4 prior AXP sales well-timed at 90d

Denise Pickett, President of Enterprise Shared Services, sold 5,000 shares (39.3% of her pre-transaction holdings) at $350.73, reducing her stake from 12,725 to 7,725 shares. The sale occurred at the current 52-week high of $357.56, suggesting favorable pricing conditions. Pickett's cross-ticker track record shows a 25.00% well-timed rate on sells with an average 90-day return of +9.5%, yet at AXP specifically, only 1 of 4 prior sells was well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the most recent AXP sale on 2025-02-05 declining 13.6% over 90 days. The stock's recent momentum—up 5.0% in 30 days and 14.8% in 90 days—provided a near-peak execution opportunity, though her historical timing accuracy on this particular ticker suggests limited predictive signal.
