American Intl Gr Q3 Adj EPS $1.23, Net Premiums Written $6.38B Vs $6.462B YoY

The U.S. stock market struggled to gain momentum on Monday as investors remained cautious ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/election-day">Election Day on Tuesday</a>. 
Vice President Kamala Harris holds a 1-point lead over ex-President Donald Trump, according to the New York Times national polling average; she has a 4-point lead among likely voters nationally, <a href="https://maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/u-s-presidential-contest-november-2024/">according to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll</a>.
Betting markets, as tracked by the CFTC-regulated Kalshi, favor a Trump win at a 53% chance, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41702729/harris-surges-in-prediction-markets-nabs-kalshi-lead-with-just-three-days-to-go">but with diminishing odds</a> compared to previous weeks. Also, the betting odds are susceptible to wild swings from so-called "whale" bettors, including one individual on Polymarket <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41463756/polymarket-to-review-user-base-in-light-of-whales-betting-millions-on-trump-election-win" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">who spent as much as</a> $43 million on a Trump victory.

&#8220;Neither candidate holds a meaningful edge in enough states to win 270 electoral votes. In the history of modern polling, there's never been a race where the final polls showed such a close contest,&#8221; said Nate Cohn, chief political analyst for the New York Times. 
The S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.2%, while the Dow dropped 0.6%, hitting its lowest intraday level since mid-September. In contrast, small-cap stocks in the Russell 2000 outperformed, rising 1%. The Nasdaq 100 also retreated, dipping below the 20,000 mark.
Treasury yields fell by nearly 10 basis points as investors scaled back positions linked to Trump&#8217;s inflationary policies, such as high tariffs and more expansionary fiscal measures. The dollar also weakened, down 0.5%.
The increasing likelihood of a Harris victory gave a boost to solar and renewable energy stocks, with the Invesco Solar ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NYSE">TAN</a>) climbing 3.6%. 
Oil and gas stocks also gained, as crude prices surged 3% after OPEC+ postponed an anticipated production hike. Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XOM#NYSE">XOM</a>) jumped 3%, marking its largest single-day gain since late June.
Gold held steady at $2,740, while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell over 1%, dropping below $68,000.

PYPL

TOST

Shares of American International Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AIG#NYSE">AIG</a>) have been in focus due to the impact of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41126631/hurricane-helene-devastation-the-latest-on-damage-companies-affected">Hurricane Helene on insurers</a>.
Conversations with corporate risk managers suggest that pricing power among insurers in the large employer marketplace remains &#8220;soft,&#8221; according to BMO Capital Markets.
Analyst Michael Zaremski downgraded the rating for American International Group from Outperform to Market Perform, while reducing the price target from $90 to $84.
The American International Group Thesis: Most large employers do not expect their property insurance and casualty insurance pricing costs to accelerate meaningfully in the next six months, Zaremski said in the downgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
"Given our viewpoint that soft-market conditions persist in the near term, we are lowering our 2025 and 2026 EPS estimate run-rate for AIG by ~2%, driven by higher/ worse underlying loss ratios in North America and International Commercial," he added.
The soft pricing power is likely to exert pressure on profit margins for insurers that have higher exposure in the large employer marketplace, the analyst stated. AIG&#8217;s 2025 premium mix is about 72% commercial lines, &#8220;which we estimate is predominantly large-account weighted," he further wrote.
AIG Price Action: Shares of American International Group had declined by 0.12% to $77.72 at the time of publication on Tuesday.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing American Intl Gr's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, American Intl Gr's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 1.59%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
