Factors Likely to Shape AIG’s Q3 Results
In the third quarter, American International’s revenues are expected to have benefited on the back of higher net investment income and underwriting income from the General Insurance business. The General Insurance business is likely to have gained from the strong performances of its Global Personal segments. The Global Personal is expected to have benefited on the back of business growth in Personal Auto.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net investment income in General Insurance is pegged at $856 million, indicating 10.8% growth from the prior-year quarter’s reported number. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for underwriting income is pegged at $497.1 million, which implies a 13.8% rise from the year-ago quarter’s figure.
However, higher catastrophe losses across the three segments are likely to dampen the underwriting results of the General Insurance business in the to-be-reported quarter. Revenues from North America and International units are expected to have witnessed year-over-year declines.
Despite numerous cost-cutting initiatives, AIG’s margins are expected to have been hurt by an elevated expense base in the third quarter, resulting from higher losses and loss adjustment expenses incurred.
