MetLife Q2 2026: Adjusted EPS +20% YoY, ROE at 17% Top-End Target, $3B Buyback Authorized

MetLife delivered its strongest broad-based quarter under the New Frontier strategy, with adjusted earnings of $1.6 billion (+15% YoY) and adjusted EPS of $2.43 (+20% YoY), driven by exceptional Group Life mortality (79% ratio vs. 83-88% target), record Latin America earnings, and 21% Asia adjusted earnings growth. The $3 billion new share repurchase authorization and $748 billion MIM AUM — including $7 billion of sequential institutional client inflows — signal sustained capital generation confidence. Structural AI deployment is producing measurable productivity gains that offset PineBridge integration costs, keeping the direct expense ratio at 12.1% on target.
