The Diversified Trust Co has a $684,000 stake in MetLife, Inc. (MET). Relatedly, Cwm LLC bought shares of MET whilst Farmers & Merchants Investments Inc sold their shares. The complete acquisition of PineBridge Investments marks a significant expansion for MetLife, which had a positive response from Mizuho with an 'outperform' recommendation. Insights suggest a balance of risk and potential upside in MET's valuation, however with recent short interest and missed Q3 sales expectations, the picture isn't entirely optimistic.
The acquisition of PineBridge by MetLife Investment Management resulted in mixed reactions from the market with the share price experiencing varying degrees of change. Despite MET's underperformance in the financial sector and missed Q2 revenue estimations, Wells Fargo maintains their 'buy' rating and raises their target price to $94. The Q3 earnings missed estimates, creating unease for investors yet MetLife's share purchases remain strong with Osaic Holdings Inc. buying 43,813 shares.
The $10 billion Variable Annuity Risk Transfer Transaction is expected to be a gamechanger for MET. Despite this transition, their Q4 stock buybacks are projected to remain steady at $430M. The completion of this transaction saw MetLife shares drift higher after what has been a patchy year
