Three Reasons American International Group Inc (AIG) Is Poised for Greatness

Reason 3: Renewal
With its recent title of hedge-fund darling, AIG has had a renaissance among Wall Street elite. And with renewed vigor for its stock from top money managers, the insurer only has to wait a bit longer for that feeling to spread beyond Wall Street and Broad. Once Main Street gets on board, the insurer’s stock will soar.

Renewed confidence in the company itself will also propel investors to its shares, leaving behind the villainous reputation that it acquired during the financial crisis. With management open to discuss the company’s successes and shortcomings, shareholders should feel that openness to disclosure lift some negative sentiments toward the company as it moves forward.

Greatness
Before the financial crisis, American International Group Inc (NYSE:AIG) was a great power in the financial sector. But it may have taken the precipitous fall during the crisis for the insurer to realize what it takes to achieve true greatness. With its focus aligned with long-term success, aggressive strategies propelling it forward, and renewed confidence on Wall Street, AIG is poised to launch itself to greater heights. For investors, this is an opportunity to rise with the insurer from the ashes and cash in on greatness.
