American International Group, Inc. — Cyborg Score 7/10
Strong
Insurance - Diversified (Property & Casualty and Commercial)
Strategic Profile
AIG reported strong Q4 earnings, showcasing a 51% year-over-year increase in adjusted income, and underwriting income surpassed $2 billion for the first time since 2008. The company recently spun off its life insurance operations (Corebridge), but still retains a minority stake.
Cyborg Score Rationale
AIG achieved full-year adjusted after-tax income of $4 billion (up 24%) and returned $6.8 billion to shareholders in 2025. However, AIG has a history of under-reserving for claims, making it difficult to trust that current reserves are adequate, which tempers confidence despite strong recent performance.
