NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- American Express (AXP) - Get Report is expected to report a year-over-year increase in both earnings and revenue when it releases 2016 second-quarter results, due out after tomorrow's market close. 

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters are looking for adjusted earnings of $1.95 per share on $8.397 billion in revenues for the most recent quarter. 

Last year American Express reported earnings of $1.42 per share on $8.284 billion in revenues for the 2015 second quarter.

"Amex has been disappointing, disappointing, disappointing," TheStreet's Jim Cramer said in a video earlier today. "I believe without a management change, that's going to continue."

Shares are up 0.17% to $64.10 in late-afternoon trading on Tuesday.

Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates the stock as a "hold" with a ratings score of C+.

American Express' strengths such as its revenue growth, good cash flow from operations and notable return on equity. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally higher debt management risk, poor profit margins and a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself.
