AIG Raises Quarterly Dividend to 50 Cents a Share

American International Group, Inc. raised its quarterly dividend to 50 cents a share from 45 cents, an 11.11% increase, with the stock trading ex-dividend on June 15, 2026.

The new payout implies an annual dividend of $2.00 a share. Based on the locked share price of $74.88, the forward annual yield is 2.67%. The increase marks AIG's third consecutive year of dividend growth, following a prior dividend cut in 2014.

Context

AIG remains one of the major U.S. insurance names in the financial-services sector, with a market capitalization of about $39.70 billion under the locked facts for this event. The company has been reshaping itself in recent years around its property-and-casualty insurance operations after separating much of its former life-and-retirement business through Corebridge Financial.

That restructuring continued to shape AIG's financial profile. MarketWatch, citing an AIG regulatory filing, reported that Corebridge was deconsolidated from AIG's financial statements in 2024 after AIG reduced its ownership and changed board representation. The Wall Street Journal also reported that AIG had been working to deconsolidate Corebridge after taking the business public in 2022.

The dividend increase also comes against a backdrop of management transition. Barron's reported in January 2026 that Peter Zaffino was stepping down as chief executive, with Eric Andersen named as his successor. The same report noted that under Zaffino, AIG returned to underwriting profitability and returned capital to shareholders through buybacks and dividends.

What It Means for Income Investors

For income investors, the dividend action modestly raises AIG's recurring cash return while preserving a moderate yield profile. The company's dividend safety score is 82 out of 100, with an A grade, according to the locked facts for this event.

The three-year growth streak is relatively short compared with long-tenured dividend growers, and the 2014 cut remains part of the company's dividend record. Still, the latest increase signals that AIG's board is continuing to rebuild the payout after years of business restructuring and capital-management changes.

Investors tracking AIG for income will likely focus on whether underwriting profitability, capital flexibility and post-Corebridge financial results continue to support the higher quarterly dividend over time.
