HSBC analysts started covering American International Group (NYSE:AIG) with a Buy rating and set a target price of $86.00.
The analysts noted that AIG has significantly improved its liability risk profile, both in comparison to its own historical performance and against its peers, following a major part of its restructuring. The analysts also mentioned the success of AIG’s AIG 200 transformative program, which has led to a focus on additional cost savings.
However, they believe that the market has not fully recognized the changes at AIG, particularly its shift towards more conservative risk management. The analysts see the company becoming more agile, especially as it progresses with the separation of Corebridge Financial (CBRG), its Life and Retirement (L&R) business.
