Can American International (AIG) Q3 Earnings Deliver a Beat?
Read MoreHide Full Article
American International Group, Inc. (AIG - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2021 results on Nov 4, after market close.
Q3 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 93 cents per share, indicating a rise of 14.81% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus mark for quarterly revenues stands at $10.95 billion, suggesting a 3.51% decrease from the year-ago period’s reported number.
Factors to Note
In General Insurance, net premiums written are likely to have increased on the back of improved retention, new business and a continued improvement in insurance premium rate.
Net investment income is likely to have gone up on higher income from alternative investments and equity securities.
On the expense front, both interest expense and gross operating expenses are expected to have decreased on debt repayments and lower corporate expenses. However, underwriting profitability might have taken a hit from catastrophe losses.
Share repurchases made by the company in the period under review are likely to have provided a cushion to its bottom line.
Earnings Surprise
The company’s bottom line surpassed estimates in three of the trailing four quarters, missing the mark in the remaining one. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 15.09%, on average. This is depicted in the graph below:
