MetLife Reports Record Q3 2026 Adjusted EPS of $2.85
MetLife (MET) delivered a record-breaking third quarter in 2026, reporting adjusted earnings per share of $2.85, a 22% increase from the previous year. The company's net income reached $2.4 billion, significantly outpacing prior results. Growth was driven by strong performance across several segments, including a 21% increase in Asia and double-digit growth in Retirement and Income Solutions, supported by higher investment margins. The company also demonstrated significant capital management strength, returning approximately $3.5 billion to shareholders year-to-date through repurchases. While overall results were robust, management noted headwinds including market volatility in Chile affecting Latin American earnings and potential seasonal increases in mortality claims due to flu seasonality. Despite these risks, MetLife's adjusted Return on Equity (ROE) of 19.6% exceeded its full-year target range.
