Mizuho raised its price target for MetLife by 5 US dollars to 117 US dollars on Thursday, November 12, while retaining an Outperform rating. The analyst updated its life-insurance models after the insurer's third-quarter results and a disability expert call, according to Markets Insider.

What changed in the analyst view

The target increase builds on Mizuho's earlier 112 US dollar objective and keeps the broker's positive stance intact. Markets Insider said the revision followed the latest life-insurance sector work rather than a change in the company's rating.

MetLife's third-quarter release on November 4 showed record adjusted earnings per share excluding notable items and revenue growth in all six business segments. The company also said it remained on track for its full-year free-cash-flow and direct-expense-ratio targets.

What investors should watch

The updated target puts attention on whether broad operating growth can continue beyond the strong third quarter. For investors, the main indicators remain underwriting performance, investment income and capital returned through repurchases and dividends.

MetLife stock traded at 92.35 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 17:00 CET on Friday, November 13, 2026.
