American International Group
American International Group's revenue fell 1.8% to $26.8 billion in fiscal 2025. Its net margin was 11.6%, up from −5.2% a year earlier. It paid out $6.8 billion in dividends and buybacks. The diluted share count fell 13.2%.
Net margin is net income as a share of revenue. Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Return on capital is after-tax operating income as a share of the money invested in the business: debt plus equity, minus cash. Market cap is the last closing share price times the latest diluted share count, so it is approximate. P/E is the last close divided by diluted earnings per share over the last four quarters, or the latest fiscal year where the quarters aren't available; there is none when the company made a loss.
What American International Group does
American International Group, known as AIG, is a global commercial and personal insurer. It sells property, casualty, financial and specialty insurance to businesses, and accident and health, auto, home and warranty insurance to individuals. It sells in about 45 countries.
AIG reports three segments: North America Commercial, International Commercial and Global Personal. Together they make up its General Insurance business. Commercial products include property, general liability, workers' compensation, professional liability such as directors and officers cover, and marine, aviation and political risk insurance. Personal products include group accident and health cover, personal auto and homeowners policies, device protection and extended warranties, and cover for high net-worth individuals. A fourth group, Other Operations, holds items such as investment income on the parent company's liquidity portfolio, dividend income from Corebridge Financial, corporate expenses and interest expense.
AIG earns money mainly from insurance premiums and from income on its investments. Its costs are mostly claims, the costs of settling them, commissions and other costs of selling and servicing policies. It says it competes with global, national and local insurers, reinsurers and underwriting syndicates, on risk acceptance, price, service and terms. At the end of 2025 it had about 22,100 employees, with 47 percent in the Asia Pacific region.
Its biggest risks, as it describes them
- Claims that arrive later or cost more than the reserves it has set aside for them.
- Natural and man-made catastrophes and mass torts, which can hurt its results, liquidity and ratings.
- An investment portfolio that is concentrated in certain parts of the economy, and some investments that are hard to sell quickly.
- Risk management policies that may fail to catch risks it did not foresee or expect.
- Heavy regulation that can raise capital requirements for its insurance subsidiaries or cut its profit.

Valuation
Two ways to value American International Group yourself, both starting from its filings: a discounted cash flow model and the price-to-earnings method.
Discounted cash flow (DCF)
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures come from American International Group's 10-K (or, for net cash and shares, its latest 10-Q) and the assumptions are yours: start from one of three example scenarios, then change any figure to see what it implies for a share, and how that compares with the last share price.
The example scenarios need a positive starting cash flow. American International Group's free cash flow isn't available in its filings' structured data (the notes above say why), and so is cash from operations minus depreciation. You can still enter your own figures in the calculator.

How the value changes with two assumptions
Price-to-earnings (P/E) method
Another common way to value a company is to multiply its earnings per share by a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple: the number of years of today's earnings an investor pays for a share. A higher multiple usually means investors expect earnings to grow. Choose a multiple, for example from similar companies, to see the value it gives.
Value per share on three example scenarios, from American International Group's earnings per share of $5.47 (over the last four quarters). Each grows earnings for a year at the cash flow scenarios' rates and applies a multiple to next year's earnings: 13.8×, the middle of American International Group's own P/E today, its peers' median and its sector's median (the Financials median) for the base scenario, 20% less and more for the cautious and optimistic ones. The price is brought back a year at 9%, 8% and 7%. Select one to load it into the calculator. These are the model's arithmetic on those assumptions, not a forecast or a price target.

Piotroski F-score
The F-score counts how many of nine simple tests of profitability, funding and efficiency a company passed in a year (Piotroski, 2000). The more tests passed, the stronger the year: 8 or 9 is strong, 0 to 2 weak. Companies that report no gross profit are scored on the other eight.
