BUZZ-Street View: AIG to see growth with strong underwriting strength

Reuters2024-11-05

** American International Group sailed past Wall Street estimates for third-quarter profit on Monday as the insurer benefited from strong underwriting and higher returns on investments

** Of the 19 brokerages that cover the stock, 12 rate it "buy" or higher and seven "hold"; their median PT is $85.50

SHORT-TERM NOISE LINGERS

** Morgan Stanley ("equal weight", PT: $80) says it sees a clearer path to growth and easier comps in the long run, with AIG's underwriting strength expected to remain robust

** Barclays ("overweight", PT: $90) says it is positive on AIG's balance sheet strength and growth prospects as it looks to re-lever its balance sheet following years of underwriting improvement and expense cuts

** J.P.Morgan ("overweight", PT: $89) projects AIG to show strong EPS growth in the coming years, thanks to increased premium growth, consistent profit margins and share buybacks

** BofA Global Research ("neutral", PT: $82) says AIG is poised for better EPS growth than its peers and it has material opportunities for cost rationalization as it executes on its post-life separation restructuring plan
