On September 5, 2018, shortly before market close, media outlets reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") is probing pricing practices within American Express's foreign-exchange unit.  The FBI's investigation reportedly focuses on whether the Company's foreign-exchange international payments department misrepresented pricing to clients. 

Following this news, American Express's stock price fell $1.61 per share, or 1.5%, over the following two trading days to close at $105.40 per share on September 6, 2018.
