# Top American Financial Group Executive Makes Major Stock Move

New insider activity at American Financial Group ( (AFG) ) has taken place on June 24, 2026.

David Lawrence Jr Thompson, President of a subsidiary of American Financial Group, has sold 11,370 shares of the company’s stock in a transaction valued at $1,535,404.

American Financial Group shares saw attention after Piper Sandler lifted its valuation framework, attributing the change largely to the stock’s recent strength and the natural progression of its forecast period. The firm’s broader sector work argues that, after first quarter results, underwriting outperformance at carriers like AFG looks more compelling than growth trends at insurance brokers, supporting a relative preference for carriers in its models.

**Spark’s Take on AFG Stock**

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, AFG is a Outperform.

AFG scores well primarily on strong underlying financial performance (profitability, ROE, moderate leverage, solid cash conversion) and a constructive earnings update showing improved underwriting and strong capital returns. Valuation is supportive due to a moderate P/E and high dividend yield. The main constraint is a neutral technical setup and some cyclical/volatility risks highlighted around cash-flow variability and investment/alternatives mark-to-market swings.
