MetLife reported solid third-quarter earnings, with adjusted earnings per share of $2.78, up 17% year over year. The results translate into an adjusted return on equity of 19.2%, well above the company’s target range of 15%-17%.
MetLife’s leading market positions in various international markets (particularly Latin America) could provide opportunities for higher growth.
MetLife's group benefits business could face earnings headwinds if artificial intelligence advancements lead to a large increase in the unemployment rate.
