American International Group (AIG) Gets a Buy Rating from Wells Fargo


Wells Fargo analyst Elyse Greenspan maintained a Buy rating on American International Group (AIG) today and set a price target of $64. The company’s shares closed last Monday at $57.89, close to its 52-week high of $58.66.

Greenspan noted:

“We show that the majority of the six companies we tracked have outperformed with expense programs underway. PRU is one of the underperformers in our analysis, however it is really too early into their program for it to have an impact on the bottom line. The LNC savings program came when the stock was more impacted by the movement in the 10-year treasury rate.”

According to TipRanks.com, Greenspan is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 6.3% and a 66.7% success rate. Greenspan covers the Financial sector, focusing on stocks such as Marsh & Mclennan Companies, Renaissancere Holdings Ltd, and AXA Equitable Holdings Inc.

American International Group has an analyst consensus of Strong Buy, with a price target consensus of $62.86.
