AIG reports steeper 3Q net loss
NEW YORK (AP) ? Insurer AIG has posted a steeper third-quarter loss as declining interest rates and weak stock markets reduced the value of its holdings while it paid out storm losses.
American International Group Inc. reported on Thursday a loss of $4.1 billion, or $2.16 per share, compared with a loss of $2.52 billion, or $18.53 per share a year ago.
The operating loss was $3.04 billion, or $1.60 per share, up from a loss of $114 million, or 84 cents a year ago.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected a loss of 22 cents per share.
The company has been paying back the billions of dollars the U.S. government provided in the 2008 bailout and now owes roughly $68 billion.
