Morgan Stanley analyst Kai Pan attributes recent weakness in AIG shares to Hurricane Michael and the broader market selloff, exacerbated by concerns on rising bond yields, decelerating P&C pricing, rising loss trends, lingering reserve issues,and year-end tax loss selling. Given underperformance versus peers, he sees the bar being set low for AIG into its Q3 earnings report and believes any emerging trend of P&C underwriting improvement should be well received. Pan maintains an Overweight rating and $65 price target on AIG.
