Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on American International Group (NYSE: AIG) price target of $25.00.
Barclays analyst says, "AIG views its balance sheet as strengthened and is focused on an ROE recovery, although we expect its ROE to remain below its life insurance and P&C peers."
"AIG reiterated its aspirational goal of a 10% ROE in 2015 (up from our estimate of a 6% prospective normalized ROE), which we view as optimistic. AIG expects to achieve this result in part due to deploying $25-$30bn of capital generated from its P&C and life companies (unclear how this would be achieved in our view) as well as through divestitures of non-core businesses, and improved earnings, particularly at Chartis. The company currently has a $1bn share repurchase authorization, which it could take a disciplined approach to deploying."
"AIG trades at 0.50x BV, which is below peers, but 8.4x 2012E EPS of $2.50, which is above peers."
