AIG: An Opportunity To Buy This Global P&C Leader, While Still Undervalued
Summary American International Group (AIG) is upgraded to buy, driven by undervaluation, improving insurance metrics, and a robust investment-grade balance sheet. AIG's combined ratio and margins are improving, with the analyst consensus forecasting +12.8% YoY EPS growth and 19 upward revisions. Dividend growth and safety are meaningful, with AIG leading its peer group in 5-year dividend growth and maintaining a conservative payout ratio. Key risks remain from outsized catastrophe events, but diversified assets and liquidity position AIG as both a growth and dividend idea. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

AIG: Mega Insurance Brand Continues Showing Upside Potential Despite Price Climbing (Rating Upgrade)
Summary Insurance brand AIG gets upgraded back to a buy after my last hold rating, after considering additional factors from recent data. Positives include new business won in 2024, improved combined ratios, a positive 3-year price target, and market presence in commercial lines. The insurance sector can benefit from the AI trend in terms of improved productivity in underwriting, claims, and servicing.

American International Group: Mixed Underwriting, Likely Caps Upside Despite Buybacks
Summary American International Group shares have been range-bound, up 8% in the past year, with limited upside due to valuation constraints and modest earnings growth, excluding the impact of buybacks. AIG's transformational period included divestitures, significant share buybacks, and improved balance sheet health, but core underwriting improvements appear to have peaked. The company's capital allocation is strong, with continued buybacks expected, but catastrophe losses and modest investment income gains limit EPS growth potential. At 12x core earnings and with its CRBG stake, shares are worth at most $76, leaving shares just a hold. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Nov 21
American International Group: Underwriting Gains And Capital Returns Reflected In Valuation
Summary AIG shares have been recently rangebound, though they have 17% over the past year, with a 2% increase since my last "hold" rating, underperforming the S&P 500. AIG's Q3 earnings rose 18% to $1.23, benefiting from a streamlined structure and higher investment income, but underwriting income fell 20%. AIG's strong balance sheet and aggressive buybacks, supported by Corebridge sales, suggest a fair value of $78, implying a 7% total return. Despite solid underwriting and potential EPS growth, AIG's modest upside and market-like return justify maintaining a "hold" rating. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Sep 13
American International Group: Don't Overthink It
Summary AIG's commercial underwriting has quietly rivaled that of industry leader, Chubb. A narrowed focus has AIG's set for a 3%+ reduction in its expense ratio over the next few years, supporting a structural and permanent increase in its combined ratio. I expect about 1 out of every 6 shares of AIG to be retired through share repurchases by December 31, 2025. I see 67% upside over the next 16 to 22 months.
