Barclays analyst Alex Scott maintains $MetLife (MET.US)$ with a buy rating, and maintains the target price at $96.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 57.1% and a total average return of 10.6% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $MetLife (MET.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
The long-term fundamental outlook for the life insurance sector is seen as downbeat, yet the near-term prospects for stocks remain positive. Factors such as a favorable macroeconomic environment, strong balance sheets, and the capacity for share buybacks among insurers, along with current valuations, are anticipated to support further outperformance in life insurance stocks. However, a potential decline in corporate credit is viewed as a significant risk to this optimistic view.
The outlook for the insurance industry as we approach 2025 includes a more positive view on life insurers, credited to improving free cash flow, benefits derived from higher interest rates, substantial excess capital positions, robust group benefits earnings, and the potential for additional reinsurance and merger activities. Although the property and casualty sector maintains long-term quality, current challenges in property coverage underwriting and casualty loss cost trends present risks that could deter more favorable developments. Consequently, selectivity in stock selections is advised.

巴克萊銀行分析師Alex Scott維持$大都會人壽 (MET.US)$買入評級，維持目標價96美元。
根據TipRanks數據顯示，該分析師近一年總勝率為57.1%，總平均回報率為10.6%。
此外，綜合報道，$大都會人壽 (MET.US)$近期主要分析師觀點如下：
人壽保險行業的長期基本面前景被視爲悲觀，但股票的短期前景仍然樂觀。有利的宏觀經濟環境、強勁的資產負債表和保險公司的股票回購能力等因素以及當前的估值預計將支持人壽保險股的進一步跑贏大盤。但是，企業信貸的潛在下降被視爲這種樂觀觀點的重大風險。
臨近2025年，保險業的前景包括對人壽保險公司的更加樂觀的看法，這要歸功於自由現金流的改善、更高的利率所帶來的好處、大量的過剩資本狀況、強勁的集團福利收益以及額外的再保險和合並活動的可能性。儘管財產和意外傷害行業保持了長期質量，但當前在財產保險承保和意外傷害損失成本趨勢方面的挑戰所帶來的風險可能會阻礙更有利的發展。因此，建議選擇股票。
