Analyst projections of the future price of MetLife stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
MetLife’s second-quarter adjusted earnings rose 15%, while premiums, fees and other revenue grew 7%; every business segment posted higher adjusted earnings. That broad-based performance suggests growth is not reliant on a single market. (Reuters, Business Wire)
MetLife estimated that third-quarter variable investment income would be at least $600 million, up from $231 million in the second quarter. A recovery in this investment income could support earnings, though the estimate is preliminary. (SEC, The Motley Fool)
Group Benefits’ 79% group-life mortality ratio was better than MetLife’s target range, but management said some of that favourability should fade. If claims normalise, this earnings boost may not last. (The Motley Fool, Stock Analysis)
Office properties made up 37% of MetLife’s commercial mortgage portfolio in the first half of 2026, more than twice the insurance-industry share cited by Fitch. A prolonged office downturn could therefore expose MetLife to outsized credit losses, even though Fitch judged them manageable relative to capital. (Beinsure)
A MetLife Japan employee was suspected of removing customer information without authorisation, in an incident affecting several thousand records. The case adds compliance and reputational risk in an important international market. (Insurance Business)
