AIG Profitable for First Time Since 2007
Excerpt from the InvestorGuide.com Stock of the Day on 8/7/2009
The day's most anticipated report was probably the jobs report, which impressively showed a significant slowing of layoffs. However, competing for the top headline is the news from AIG's quarterly earnings report. Analysts had been expecting American International Group (AIG) to post their first profit since 2007, which the company managed to do, but AIG went far beyond expectations. And yet despite all this, criticism is still coming from all directions. What are the major concerns still facing AIG, and is there any room for optimism? More >
AIG Possibly Nationalized?
Excerpt from the InvestorGuide.com Stock of the Day on 2/24/2009
AIG, the insurance giant that received federal bailouts in September, is probably looking to restructure its $150 billion rescue package again. This second round of restructuring would reduce the company's financial burdens and give US taxpayers more ownership of the insurance giant. If this occurs, it will be announced on Monday next week when AIG is scheduled to post their Q4 results. Analysts are expecting this to happen due to a possible net loss to exceed $60 billion, a figure that some say would force the company into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. If that occurs, then the government's bailout efforts will have been for naught. It is possible the government would be willing to provide more bailout funds to the company, increasing its stake from 80 percent to 100 percent. But at this point, are there any signs of hope for the company? More >
AIG Hopes to Stop the Bleeding
Excerpt from the InvestorGuide.com Stock of the Day on 9/11/2008
AIG has been one of many financials who have announced sell-offs this week in an attempt to boost liquidity, cut losses and improve credit. After three quarterly losses totaling $18.5 billion, AIG's Chief Executive Officer, Robert Willumstad, announced the company may sell its consumer finance and reinsurance units. AIG's stock is down over 70% on the year. Are these sells-offs enough to revive the health of insurance and investment giant? Will Willumstad be able to convince investors that there is an end in sight? More >
