AIG Revenue
As we have often noted, in our valuation methodology, "Cash is King." Well, it goes without saying that if a company cannot produce sales then there is no ability to generate cash flow. By that logic we look very closely at revenue numbers as our second most important factor in valuing a company’s stock. We have established reasonable Price to Sales per share ranges based on historical data of the last 10 years. For, AIG the high and low end of the Price to Sales per share ratios are 2.06x and 1.18x respectively.
Notice that AIG’s current Price to Sales per share ratio is 0.03x, which is quite a bit below what we consider a normal Price to Sales ratio for this stock. Given normal conditions and a price of $1.71, AIG is 98% below where we would expect to see it. This will beneficially factor into our final analysis of AIG as it is not often that this stock sinks to these levels.
AIG Cash Earnings
Price to Cash Earnings analysis is inappropriate for this company due to anticipated negative cash flows for this year. A negative cash flow presents many complications when comparing the company’s current value to historically normal valuations. Clearly, when a company fails to earn a profit, it should be a concern for investors. As such, we have taken a negative view on AIG from a cash perspective. We should point out that this metric is a significant element in Ockham’s methodology for analyzing the outlook for any company.
Many young companies have come through difficult times like this before; these companies have an opportunity to grow revenue appropriately to bring them around to profitablity. However, for mature company’s with a history of positive cash flow this can be much more distressing. Therefore, for AIG, our overall valutaion is now more dependent on the Price to Sales analysis, and investors should be cautious with a company with very limited, if any, positive cash earnings.
AIG Dividends
A strong dividend payment history is looked upon as a favorable characteristic on a company’s future and potentially can receive a positive Ockham rating. That being said, we don’t require dividend payments for company’s whose management has elected to forgo them entirely.

“…Someone comes down off the hall and today is no exception. Today ed liddy, the departing chairman and ceo of the black hole known as AIG gets to take his — gets his face taken down from the number one spot. Liddy’s inept manager, I know he only earned a dollar, that’s his net management was only eclipsed by husband cluelessness and deciding to resign may be the best decision he’s made as AIG’s top dog even though he’s widely considered to be well too ridiculed by me, I don’t know. He made a lot of mistation. Normally I don’t put freshmen ceos on the wall of shame, but liddy who only took the job eight months ago is a real record-breaker. By the way, third guy from AIG i’ve had to put on the wall. Liddy’s departure is good for the company but not to me. Nothing, I repeat nothing, could make AIG’s common stock worth owning, I repeat nothing. It’s a zombie and just like scooby-doo on zombie island this time the monsters are for real, and the fact that the common stock hasn’t been cancelled or …” …more details…

“…Down side was minimal, and the time was right to buy, I didn’t think the risk-averse crowd would come in until gm was dealt with.

The next black hole, AIG. Hey, three bailouts and plenty of angst later the problems are at last behind us. The losses have been contained to about $200 billion, the biggest hole in tarp.

The only thing it makes clear …” …more details…

“…This country. Remember, the government is staying that we really don’t want to own gm. They are going to want to back out over the next few months.
