What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Our framework reads AVOID: it trades at roughly a 35% discount to our $101.00 fair value, narrow competitive moat, 0.50% revenue growth.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-09-09 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 34.6% margin of safety to the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 20 covering, consensus Buy. The average target sits +17% from the screen price.
Reading the gap · Both our model and the analysts see meaningful upside from here.
Price History & Projections
Where it has been, where the models see it going. History from market close data; projection points are our fair-value estimates and third-party analyst targets, dated to the 2026-09-09 screen.
Fair value and rating are our own model estimates; the Street's range reflects third-party analyst estimates. Analysis, not advice.
The Business, in Plain Words
AIG carries ethical flags that markets ignore
Every claim paid or premium collected by AIG moves through a vast insurance network that touches ordinary lives daily. Analysts see a cheap forward multiple near 9 times earnings and a modest revenue uptick, yet the numbers sit alongside a narrow moat and single-digit returns on equity.
We pass because the business activity screen flags the company outright. That single ethical breach overrides any surface appeal from the 27 percent gap between the current price and our fair value estimate. Low growth and average profitability only reinforce the decision.
The real risk lies in how ethical screens can shift sentiment fast, even when earnings look steady. Twenty analysts still lean buy, but their targets do not address the core issue. Analysis, not advice.
The risks · The main risks here are ordinary market swings and the chance our fair-value read proves too optimistic.
Plain-English interpretation of our own screen data. Analysis, not advice.
