May 19Jefferies removed AIG from its Franchise Picks Buy-rated list on May 18, signaling reduced near-term conviction.Negative▶
On May 18, 2026, Jefferies removed American International Group from its Franchise Picks list of Buy-rated stocks, a notable downgrade in conviction following the company's strong Q1 print. AIG had recently delivered Q1 adjusted EPS of $2.11 (up 80% YoY) and is preparing for CEO Eric Andersen to assume the role June 1. The Corebridge stake sale generated about $710M in net proceeds. The Jefferies removal may pressure shares as the franchise pick designation had attracted incremental buyers. Bear case: leadership transition risk and softening insurance pricing cycle could compress underwriting margins.
