There has been a mix of positive outlook and apprehension towards the American International Group (AIG). The company's stock has achieved a 9% uptick Year-to-Date (YTD), and it has been considered a promising insurance stock to purchase. More investors like OFI Invest Asset Management are increasing their share holdings with the firm, while others are raising queries about its future directions.
One notable event is Zurich's purchase of AIG's travel insurance department for $600 million, seen as a strategic move for portfolio optimization. Other relevant reports include AIG's Q2 earnings which showed a lag in estimates, whereas the company's Q4 earnings showed 19% increase in their general insurance income.
AIG also announced a dividend of $.40 and was described as a good pick for value, dividend and long-term stock portfolios. Other completion includes the 3.4 billion sale of Corebridge Financial commonstock, ditching claims against former execs, and the notable appointment of Gordon Browne as global head of specialty.
However, some concerns include muted earnings and AIG's stock potentially hitting a pothole with the next Quarter 2 earnings.
