December 12, 2025 - 22:35
On December 3, 2025, American Financial Group announced a significant increase in its share repurchase authorization, raising it by 5,000,000 shares to a total of 57,188,938. The buyback program has also been extended through December 31, 2030. This decision comes on the heels of the company reporting quarterly revenues that surpassed analysts' expectations, reflecting solid financial performance.
In addition to the buyback news, AM Best affirmed American Financial Group's A+ Financial Strength Rating and strong issuer credit ratings. This affirmation highlights the company's very strong balance sheet and effective risk management practices. The ratings serve as a testament to the insurer's resilience, particularly in the specialty property and casualty insurance sector, which has faced various challenges in recent times.
These developments are likely to bolster investor confidence and may strengthen the bull case for American Financial Group as it navigates the evolving market landscape. The combination of a robust buyback program and high credit ratings positions the company favorably for future growth.
