Frequently asked questions
What is MetLife Inc's revenue?
MetLife Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $77.58B, and consensus projects about $93.80B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is MET?
In its most recent fiscal year, MET ran a gross margin of 36.36%, an operating margin of 6.05%, and a net margin of 4.38%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does MET generate?
MET produced $18.11B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is MET's balance sheet healthy?
MET holds $22.03B in cash and equivalents against $18.62B in long-term debt, on $28.40B of shareholder equity. Cash on hand exceeds long-term debt, so the balance sheet adds little financial risk to the thesis.
