Live Blogging AIG’s First Earnings Call in Two Years (AIG)

AIG on Thursday posted net income of $11.2 billion in the fourth quarter, aided by large reported gains on overseas units the giant insurer sold to repay its government bailout.

But the company’s core insurance businesses, whose growth prospects will factor heavily in a large stock offering that AIG is preparing for this spring, turned in a weaker performance during the period.

This morning AIG officials led by Chief Executive Robert Benmosche will host AIG’s first earnings conference call in two years to discuss the company’s performance and outlook for its businesses.
