AIG (AIG)
Things are getting testy over at AIG. The insurance behemoth is scheduled to hold its annual shareholder meeting this afternoon against the backdrop of a tumultuous quarterly earnings report released late Thursday last week which saw the firm post a record $7.8 billion loss driven largely by markdowns in its credit derivatives portfolio ($9.1 billion). This follows the $5.3 billion loss in the fourth quarter of last year. CEO Martin Sullivan has a credibility problem because last year, before these losses came to light, he described AIG's exposure to mortgage instruments as 'manageable' and also assured shareholders that he would not have to dilute their stake by raising additional equity. But he backtracked on that last week, to the tune of $12.5 billion. The real scary part for Sullivan is that AIG is starting to look like Citigroup (C: Charts, News, Offers) -- it has the black box balance sheet, its write-downs can be mentioned in the same breath as Citi, it has the looming presence of an ex-larger than life CEO (Weill for Citi, Greenberg for AIG) and now it is also hearing calls from investors who want to break the thing up.
