Stocks in News Today: The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG), American International Group Inc (NYSE:AIG), Sprint Corporation (NYSE:S)

Boston, MA 02/19/2014 (wallstreetpr) – The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) believes that its leadership position in the grooming brands is far from getting tired. And as if to confirm this, the company recently introduced a new line of products, mainly male grooming products known as Gillette BODY. These products feature Gillette BODY Razor, Gillette BODY 2in1 Wash and Save and Gillette BODY Non-Foaming Gel. The company stated that this new line of male grooming instruments is available at mass, food and drug stores in the U.S. PG is obviously pursuing the dollar in the noted recent increase in demand for male grooming products as male grooming habits gain currency among population. The more than $211 billion market caped Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG) lost 1.8 percent of its market value in the last trading, leading to shares concluding the day at $77.97.

American International Group Inc (NYSE:AIG) could be isolated in the Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) settlement deal that it has since objected with claims that the settlement does not adequately compensate the losses suffered. Yet, some investors are submitting that AIG is holding the settlement hostage and they now want the court to approve the settlement which is valued at $8.5 billion. AIG is among the investors who successfully petitioned BAC over the irregular mortgage-backed securities issued by Countrywide Financial. While BAC agreed to take responsibility of the sins committed by Countrywide and went ahead to agree to monetary compensation, AIG was left grumbling over the amount of the settlement, rejecting the offer in the process and thus stalling the compensation deal. But satisfied investors are seeking to push ahead with the approval of the deal. Shares of American International Group Inc (NYSE:AIG) added $1.19 each to settle at $50.17 in the last trading session.

Sprint Corporation (NYSE:S) suffered in the Tuesday session whereby its shares lost 20 cents each, leading it to close the day at $8.20. The stock recently had its price objective uplifted from $7.25 to $8.25 at Cowen and Company. The latest price target of the stock suggests a slight uptick potential from the current price of $8.20. At least 27 analysts have recently commended on the stock of Sprint Corporation (NYSE:S), resulting in consensus price objective of $7.66 and consensus rating of a “hold.”
