Deutsche Bank Raises Price Target on AIG (AIG), Sees Larger Share Buybacks

Deutsche Bank raised its price target on Buy-rated American International Group (NYSE: AIG) to $40 citing increased confidence following meetings with management.

The firm believes AIG is likely to buy back far more of its own shares than the market price would indicate, also at a far faster pace.

"We believe $15-20 billion (or even more) worth of buybacks over the next twelve months is achievable as the Treasury and AIG sell off the remaining non-core assets," the firm said. "We believe BVPS growth in excess of 30% is possible if shares continue to hover around their current price."
