Varma Mutual Pension Insurance Co boosts its stake in
MetLife Inc. (MET), amidst a backdrop of rising revenues, falling earnings and ongoing buybacks. Growing retirement fears are putting MetLife’s
guaranteed income strategy in focus. Although MET reported a revenue miss for Q4 2025, there are expectations of earnings hopes and recent conference signals changing the narrative. The valuation of MET is another topic of discussion following earnings weakness and a completed share buyback. A number of asset management and advisory firms are adjusting their positions in MET including
Rhumbline Advisers,
Freemont Management,
ProShare Advisors,
Versor Investments, and others. Notably, MetLife's stock position was decreased by
Applied Finance Capital Management.
JP Morgan has maintained MET with a buy rating but has cut its target price. MetLife has balanced an analyst downgrade with a push for global growth and strategic opportunities. After a recent price pullback, the attractiveness of MET's pricing is under inspection. Amidst these performances, MetLife has been recognized as the industry leader on the
Fortune World's Most Admired Companies 2026 list.
