AIG beats profit estimates on premium growth, investment income

AIG reported Q3 earnings of $2.06 per share, exceeding estimates of $1.89, driven by 7% premium growth and higher investment income. However, catastrophe losses rose, reducing underwriting income by 29%. The combined ratio increased to 91.3% due to higher claims and lower favorable prior-year development.
