Target rises ahead of results

The same report listed Piper Sandler at USD 110.00 after its September 22 upgrade from Neutral to Overweight.

Three dated signals for investors

MetLife declared a fourth-quarter 2026 dividend of USD 0.5925 per share on October 6, 2026, according to the company's MetLife release. On July 15, 2026, Atlantic Securities set a USD 103.00 target, providing an earlier reference point for the later target increases.

MetLife's second-quarter 2026 results supplied the operating foundation for the revisions. Benzinga reported that adjusted earnings reached USD 1.6 billion, up 15 percent from the prior-year period, while adjusted earnings per share rose 20 percent to USD 2.43. Adjusted return on equity reached 17 percent, at the top of MetLife's 15 percent to 17 percent annual target range.

What comes next for earnings?

MetLife will publish third-quarter 2026 results after the market closes on November 4, 2026, followed by an earnings call on November 5, 2026. The dates were announced in the company's MetLife release dated October 7, 2026. The upcoming report will test whether the second-quarter earnings growth and capital-return program can support the valuation case behind the higher targets.
