Is American International Group stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing American International Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of American International Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

American International Group's P/E ratio

American International Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, American International Group shares trade at around 14x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're under-valued.

American International Group's PEG ratio

American International Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.0003. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into American International Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

American International Group's EBITDA

American International Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $8.5 billion.

The EBITDA is a measure of a American International Group's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

American International Group stock dividends

26%

Dividend payout ratio: 26.22% of net profits

Recently American International Group has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), American International Group shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In American International Group's case, that would currently equate to about $1.52 per share.

While American International Group's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that American International Group may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

American International Group's most recent dividend payout was on 29 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 15 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have American International Group's stocks ever split?

American International Group's stocks were split on a 1:20 basis on 30 June 2009 . So if you had owned 20 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your American International Group stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1900% higher stock price could have impacted the market appetite for American International Group stocks, which in turn could have impacted American International Group's stock price.

American International Group stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, American International Group's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $64.677 up to $79.515. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

AIG.US volatility(beta: 1.07)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while American International Group's is 1.069. This would suggest that American International Group's stocks are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
