Keefe, Bruyette & Woods upgraded American International Group (NYSE: AIG) from Underperform to Market Perform with a price target of $24.00.

KBW analyst says, "We are upgrading the shares of AIG to Market Perform as the shares have fallen to be in line with our $24 price target. We remain cautious in our outlook but believe the current valuation properly weighs a cautious stance."

INDUSTRY OPINION: The P&C industry is in a period of weakening profitability and slow growth. We favor those companies that we believe are best positioned to increase book value over time. KBW recommends a market weight position in the sector.
