American Express Co. said it is likely to see its full-year earnings top its previous guidance after the credit-card company posted better-than-expected results for the third quarter.

The New York City-based company said it expects full-year earnings to come in above its forecast of between $9.25 a share and $9.65 a share. According to FactSet, analysts were already expecting full-year earnings of about $9.92 a share.

American Express said it still expects full-year revenue growth of between 23% and 25%.

The view comes after American Express posted higher revenue in the three months ended Sept. 30, boosted by a surge in travel spending as well as growth in spending on goods and services.
