American International Group Inc (AIG) saw a price decline of 3.00%, hitting a 20-day low amid ongoing leadership changes.
The stock's drop follows the announcement of CEO Peter Zaffino's resignation, which has raised investor concerns about the company's future direction and stability. Despite AIG's previous successes under Zaffino, including five consecutive years of underwriting profitability, the unexpected leadership transition has led to uncertainty in the market.
This situation reflects a broader trend in the insurance sector, where leadership changes can significantly impact investor confidence and stock performance.

According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for AIG is 85.93 USD with a low forecast of 80.00 USD and a high forecast of 96.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.
