New York-based American International Group, Inc. (AIG) offers insurance products for commercial, institutional, and individual customers in North America and internationally. With a market cap of $49 billion, AIG operates through General Insurance, Life and Retirement, and Other Operations segments.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are commonly referred to as “large-cap stocks,” and AIG fits the bill perfectly. Given the company’s long-standing history, large customer base and extensive operations, its valuation above this mark is unsurprising.
AIG touched its 10-year high of $88.07 on Apr. 2 and is currently trading 3% below that peak. AIG’s stock prices have gained 5.1% over the past three months, significantly outperforming the iShares U.S. Insurance ETF’s (IAK) marginal 10 bps uptick during the same time frame.
Over the longer term, AIG stock has surged 17.3% on a YTD basis and 12.5% over the past 52 weeks, outperforming IAK’s 6.7% gains in 2025 but underperforming its 17.8% returns over the past year.
AIG has traded consistently above its 200-day moving average since February and along its up-trending 50-day moving average in recent months, underscoring its bullish trend.
AIG stock prices gained 3.5% in the trading session after the release of its mixed Q1 results on May 1. The company’s net premium written came in at $4.5 billion, remaining flat compared to the year-ago quarter. While its total revenues inched up 30 basis points year-over-year to $6.8 billion, and missed the Street’s expectations. AIG’s adjusted net income for the quarter plunged 18.6% year-over-year to $702 million, but its adjusted EPS of $1.17 surpassed the consensus estimates by 11.4%. On a more positive note, the company repurchased $2.2 billion worth of shares during the quarter and raised its quarterly dividends by 12.5%, showcasing its commitment to shareholders.
Meanwhile, AIG has outpaced its peer Arch Capital Group Ltd.’s (ACGL) 2.4% uptick in 2025 and 5.1% decline over the past 52 weeks.
Among the 16 analysts covering the AIG stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $90.69 represents a modest 6.2% premium to current price levels.
