The technicals show strong support at about (BUT doesn't mean the stock will fall to this price).
AIG has come a long way since 2009 when it nearly collapsed after Lehman's crisis saved only by US government's bailout and it seemed to have recovered very nicely.
AIG will benefit from impeding increase in Fed rate in late 2015...
As this is a very interest rate sensitive stock, any small increase in Fed rate will have big benefits to AIG.
I would rate this as a strong buy now.
