Check our work! We provide our AMERICAN EXPRESS CO Benford's Law analysis for informational purposes only, and our software should be expected to
make mistakes and contain errors (nothing you see on this website should be relied upon for any decision-making without first repeating
the analysis yourself independently), and so below we present to you all of the numbers our system detected, for the AXP filing
above. This way, you can open the filing on your own and compare what you see below against what you yourself find. This can also
be helpful for exploring any columns in particular that caught your eye.

While the above AXP 10K Filed 2/6/2026 is interesting in isolation, we have found that it is also useful to take a look at older
AMERICAN EXPRESS CO filings processed by our Benford's Law Stocks algorithm, to see how the company's filings "typically look" on a
Benford's Law analysis. Below we repeat the 10K Filed 2/6/2026 but instead of the chart comparing against the typical company across
our coverage universe, below we show the same chart compared against the typical AXP 10Q and 10K filings that we have processed
historically. This is followed by similar charts for each of those historical filings.
