MetLife, Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2026, revealing a net income of $779 million, or $1.10 per share, compared to $735 million, or $1.04 per share, in the same period last year. For the first half of 2026, net income available to common shareholders reached $1.8 billion, up from $1.6 billion in the prior year. The company’s total revenues for the second quarter increased to $19.2 billion, a 10.5% rise from $17.3 billion in the previous year, driven by higher premiums and net investment income.
The company experienced significant growth in its premium income, which rose to $11.4 billion for the quarter, up from $10.8 billion in the same quarter of 2025. Net investment income also saw an increase, reaching $6.7 billion compared to $5.7 billion a year earlier. However, MetLife reported net investment losses of $428 million for the quarter, compared to losses of $273 million in the same quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher losses on sales of fixed maturity securities and increased impairments on real estate investments.
Strategically, MetLife completed the acquisition of PineBridge Investments in late 2025, which has contributed to increased revenues in its MetLife Investment Management (MIM) segment. The company also announced a definitive agreement to sell its subsidiary, MetLife Ukraine, with an expected impairment loss of $65 million recorded in the second quarter. This transaction is anticipated to close in 2027, pending regulatory approvals.
Operationally, MetLife's total assets increased to $759.4 billion as of June 30, 2026, up from $745.2 billion at the end of 2025. The company reported a total of 635.5 million shares of common stock outstanding. The firm continues to focus on enhancing its asset management capabilities and expanding its geographic footprint, particularly in Asia and Latin America, where it has seen growth in life insurance and retirement products.
Looking ahead, MetLife remains optimistic about its growth trajectory, citing a favorable economic environment and strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing its market position. The company anticipates continued growth in adjusted earnings, supported by its diversified product offerings and strong investment performance, despite potential market volatility and regulatory challenges.
