AIG adds Icahn, Paulson to board; Pandora for sale?; Groupon gets its groove back

Here are some of the stocks the Yahoo Finance team will be watching for you today.

AIG (AIG) is avoiding a potential proxy fight by giving activist investors Car Icahn and John Paulson seats on the company's board. This as the insurance giant reported a much-wider-than expected fourth quarter loss and revenue that also missed estimates. The company also said it would buy back an additional $5 billion of its shares and boosted its quarterly dividend.  

Pandora (P) delivered mixed quarterly results. Earnings per share came in short of forecasts due to a dip in monthly listeners, while revenue topped expectations. However, investors seem focused on that Pandora was putting itself up for sale and is working with Morgan Stanley to meet with potential buyers, according to the New York Times.
