Should You Buy American International Group Inc (AIG) Today? Analysis, Price Targets, and 2026 Outlook.
Analysis Updated At
2026/01/28
AIG is not a good buy right now for a beginner long-term investor who wants to enter immediately. The current technical trend is bearish (key moving averages stacked bearishly and MACD still negative), there are no supportive Intellectia trading signals today, and the analyst narrative for 2026 leans cautious due to a softening P&C pricing cycle. While downside appears somewhat supported near ~72 and Wall Street price targets imply upside over a longer horizon, the timing/trend setup today is not favorable—so the better call is HOLD (or wait rather than buy now).
Technical Analysis
Pre-market price is ~73.53, sitting near the pivot (72.845) and just below first resistance (R1 74.051). Trend is bearish: SMA_200 > SMA_20 > SMA_5 indicates persistent downtrend/weak momentum. MACD histogram is negative (-0.255) though ‘negatively contracting’ suggests bearish momentum is easing, not reversing. RSI(6) ~47 is neutral—no oversold bounce signal. Key levels: support S1 ~71.64 then S2 ~70.90; resistance at ~74.05 then ~74.80. Net: the chart favors caution until price reclaims/holds above ~74–75 with improving momentum.
Analyst Ratings and Price Target Trends
Recent Street trend is mostly neutral-to-mildly-positive on rating, but with price targets being adjusted down or mixed heading into 2026. Barclays kept Equal Weight while cutting PT to $81; Evercore stayed In Line and cut to $85; BofA stayed Neutral and cut to $89; Goldman stayed Neutral and raised slightly to $83; TD Cowen holds; Mizuho initiated Neutral; however, KBW maintained Outperform and raised to $96, and Piper reiterated Overweight with PT $95. Wall Street ‘pros’ view: resilient profitability and valuation not demanding, with upside to targets if results hold. Wall Street ‘cons’ view: P&C cycle is softening and competition may pressure pricing/margins, limiting near-term upside. Politician/congress activity: no recent congress trading data provided.
