Executive summary

MetLife is a major provider of life insurance, annuities, employee benefits and retirement products to individuals and institutions in the United States and abroad. Customers pay premiums and deposits, which the company invests in a large portfolio of bonds and other assets. It earns income from premiums, fees and investment returns, less the cost of paying benefits and claims, and interest rates and market conditions affect its results.

Over the last twelve months Metlife Inc reported revenue of $79.4 billion, which expanded at 3.9% a year across three years. Its operating margin is 8.3% and its return on invested capital is 845%. The company pays a dividend with a yield of 2.3%.

StocksXray gives Metlife Inc an X-Ray Score of 51 out of 100 (medium confidence), ahead of 51% of the S&P 500 stocks in its sector. Its strongest lens is profitability (66) and its weakest is growth (29).

Our fair value blend is $57.74. At $100.76 the stock trades 75% above that blend, so the label is "Overvalued" with medium model uncertainty. Fair value is a range, not a price target.

How to read this report

Every number comes from SEC filings, end-of-day prices and the StocksXray models described on the methodology page. The X-Ray Score ranks each metric against the company's own sector. Fair value blends three models and carries a typical error of about 40%, so treat it as a range. Analyst ratings, price targets and earnings-call summaries are not part of this report. Educational research, not financial advice; read the disclaimer.
