After surviving a tough few years, American International Group (AIG) seems to be back on the right track. The U.S. insurer reported second quarter net income of US$1.82B or US$2.30 per share, its first profit following six back-to-back quarterly losses.
The results are a stark improvement from the net loss of US$5.36B or an adjusted US$41.13 per share reported a year ago. Adjusted earnings came in at US$2.57 per share, trumping analysts’ estimates by US$1.50! AIG shares surged 66% in the week through Thursday on hopes of a return to profitability.
