MetLife Company Overview Leading financial services company in the world; Biggest life insurance company in the U.S. Provide insurance, annuities, employee benefits and asset management Operate in more than 40 countries, including U.S., Japan, Latin America, Asia, Europe and the Middle East
MetLife Risks Advantages & Drivers Sustained low interest rates. The low interest rate will hurt MetLife’s margins and returns compared to its peers. Poor results in the international business. Weak operating results, unfavorable macro trends and fiscal policy pose risks are main risks to poor performance in the business. Spin-off of Brighthouse are worse than assumed. If transaction costs are greater than assumed,$130 million in 2018 and $195 million in 2019, there could be downside risk to EPS and ROE estimates. Non-medical health contributes most in total revenue and will keep growing in the future. The group benefits business will expand in Latin American and Asia which will increase total revenue. Key drivers such as median age of population, disposable income per capita and interest rate have optimistic trend.

Valuation DCF model ( 11.5% wacc and 3% terminal growth rate)
Recommendations Catalysts Risks Increase in interest rate Not sure how company’s reputation will About 20% price upside potential based on valuation be affected by sales scandal. Tax benefit Cost cutting plan ( $4 billion by the end of 2019) Uncertainty coming from Federal Reserve’s Replacement of board member in order to restore asset penalty public confidence (more downloads of bank’s app) Substantially underperformed the financial sector and Higher borrowing costs due to downgraded peer firms since last year, might resulted from investors by rating agency such as S&P overreaction. Overall, I recommend Wells Fargo as a BUY.
