American International Group (AIG, $50.30) delivers an estimate-smashing quarter

Shares of American International Group surged 7.6% in the after-hours trading Tuesday, after the company reported an adjusted EPS of $1.58 in the first quarter that beat consensus estimates of $1.06 and was also higher than $1.04 in the same quarter a year ago.

The first quarter consolidated net investment for the company stood at $3.9 billion compared to $3.3 billion in the year-ago quarter, reflecting favorable market conditions.

The company’s CEO justified the performance by saying that its underwriting and expense discipline, coupled with improved business mix and reinsurance actions, are the reasons for General Insurance’s achievement. He expects that this performance will be sustained for the rest of the year.

Many analysts have observed that Life and Retirement continue to deliver an adjusted low-mid-ROCE and a two-digit adjusted ROCE for consolidated AIG within three years. Q1 adjusted ROCE came at 11.6% compared to 7.7% in the year-ago quarter, while core adjusted ROCE was 13.4% vs. 8.6% in the same previous quarter.

The company’s book value adjusted per ordinary share of $ 55.47 as of March 31, 2019 fell from $ 56.10 as of March 31, 2018.

Industry description

A multi-line insurance contract bundles together exposures to risk and covers them under a single contract. For providers of such policies, the bundle is a potential risk diversification strategy since their exposure gets spread over several factors, which helps them mitigate a financial burden if a catastrophic event were to occur. Other potential benefits include getting more premiums from including more than one type of insurance in a bundle, and getting a competitive edge by procuring multiple insurance contracts with a customer. Examples of companies in this industry are Berkshire Hathaway (which owns several insurance companies), Chubb Limited, American International Group, Inc. and Sun Life Financial Inc.

Apollo Global Management (APO), a leading alternative asset manager, reports Q4 and full-year 2025 results on February 9, 2026, before the market opens.

Linde (LIN) reported Q4 2025 adjusted EPS of $4.20, topping estimates, with full-year revenue reaching $34 billion. 2026 EPS guidance of $17.40–$17.90 implies 6–9% growth, supported by a record $10 billion project backlog.

IBM fell over 10% today mainly because a new AI tool from Anthropic is seen as a direct threat to IBM’s lucrative COBOL modernization and consulting business, triggering worries that key legacy‑modernization revenue will be automated away.
Today’s drop is mainly about competitive positioning and future growth expectations, not an immediate collapse of current Wegovy/Ozempic sales, but it signals that Novo may not have the strongest next‑wave obesity drug versus Eli Lilly, which is why the stock sold off so sharply.
RNG (RingCentral) dropped over 12% today mainly as a sharp pullback after a very steep recent run‑up driven by upbeat Q4 results, guidance, and capital‑return news, with profit‑taking amplified by valuation concerns and a weak broader tech tap
Fundamentally, the latest public guidance is still for rapid growth and profitability, but today’s drop reflects a reset of sentiment and valuation rather than a brand‑new deterioration in those targets. For investors, the key question is whether the current price appropriately reflects execution risk, competition in diagnostics, and macro volatility after the guidance‑driven rally and subsequent reversal.
TNC (Tennant Company) is down more than 25% today because it reported a very large earnings and revenue miss for Q4 2025, blamed on serious ERP rollout problems and weaker demand, and guided to a slower‑than‑hoped recovery in 2026.
XMTR (Xometry) is down more than 21% today because, despite reporting record growth and an earnings beat, the company announced a CEO transition and investors used the news to take profits after a big prior run‑up, with heavy short interest amplifying the drop.
