American International Group, Inc. (NYSE: AIG) managed to beat earnings expectations handily, and the insurance giant said that it spent $1.1 billion buying back stock in the second quarter.

Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAR) was trending upwards  in the wake of announcing that its earnings per share were 68 cents versus the analysts’ prediction of only 61 cents.
