AIG's fourth-quarter 2025 profit surpassed analysts' expectations, according to a statement released on a Tuesday in early 2026. The positive results were primarily fueled by a significant increase in underwriting income, boosting earnings per share.
While specific dollar figures for the fourth-quarter profit were not detailed, the strong underwriting performance was a key factor in exceeding the average estimates of analysts surveyed.
This follows a trend of AIG beating earnings estimates. In the second quarter of 2025, the company reported operating earnings that surged 35% to $1.04 billion, or $1.81 per share, significantly above the $1.61 average estimate. This was attributed to a sharp drop in catastrophe-related losses and higher investment gains. Furthermore, AIG's third-quarter 2025 adjusted after-tax income was $1.2 billion, or $2.20 per diluted common share, up 77% year-over-year and exceeding the $1.72 average estimate.
