Interested in Trupanion, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Trupanion beat Q1 expectations and posted record first-quarter subscription margins, but the stock has continued to struggle. Subscriber retention remains a strength, helping support the company’s monthly pet insurance model despite competitive pressure. The bull case depends on Trupanion proving that revenue growth and customer loyalty can translate into durable profitability. Trupanion (NASDAQ: TRUP) has spent years telling investors a compelling story about pet insurance. Yet despite steadily rising revenue over the years, Trupanion has struggled to translate that growth into profits. Now, with the company’s first quarter building on positive results from 2025, Trupanion is delivering record margins, an earnings beat, and strong subscriber retention. → Meta and Cloud Computing: Real Potential, or a Shot in the Dark? But investors seem wary. Growth might not be the issue that still confronts the company. Compared with other countries, the United States is far behind in signing up for pet insurance. Instead, veterinary inflation and industry competition could be the reason investors are underwhelmed and might need more patience. Trupanion is not typically cited when discussing insurers. It does not pay a dividend, and subscription insurance for cats and dogs is a niche that rarely attracts much investor attention. The company is also unusual in the world of insurance in that its policies are monthly, rather than annual contracts that customers renegotiate every year. → Qualcomm Goes All-In: The $10B Bet to Crush NVIDIA The company’s first quarter results showed, however, that its model is working. For the first three months of the year, Trupanion reported that revenue rose 12% to $384 million compared with a year earlier and above expectations. The company’s net income flipped from a $1.5 million loss a year ago to a profit of $4.9 million, or 11 cents per share, over 50% more than analysts had expected. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose 42% to $17.4 million, → After SpaceX, Amazon Could Be The Next Best Space Stock While the earnings beat was notable, operating margins told a more compelling story. Trupanion’s subscription adjusted operating margin rose to 14.2%, a first-quarter record, up from 12.9%. And adjusted operating income rose 2...

The end of the earnings season is always a good time to take a step back and see who shined (and who didn’t). Let’s take a look at how life insurance stocks fared in Q1, starting with MetLife (NYSE:MET). Life insurance companies collect premiums from policyholders in exchange for providing a future death benefit or retirement income stream. Interest rates matter for the sector (and make it cyclical), with higher rates allowing insurers to reinvest their fixed-income portfolios at more attractive yields and vice versa. Additionally, favorable demographic shifts, such as an aging population, are driving strong demand for retirement products while AI and data analytics offer significant opportunities to improve underwriting accuracy and operational efficiency. Conversely, the industry faces headwinds from persistent competition from agile insurtechs that threaten traditional distribution models. The 11 life insurance stocks we track reported a slower Q1. As a group, revenues missed analysts’ consensus estimates by 1.1%. In light of this news, share prices of the companies have held steady as they are up 1.8% on average since the latest earnings results. Founded in 1863 by a group of New York businessmen during the Civil War era, MetLife (NYSE:MET) is a global financial services company that provides insurance, annuities, employee benefits, and asset management services to individuals and businesses worldwide. MetLife reported revenues of $19.68 billion, up 4.5% year on year. This print exceeded analysts’ expectations by 1.4%. Despite the top-line beat, it was still a mixed quarter for the company with an impressive beat of analysts’ net premiums earned estimates but a significant miss of analysts’ book value per share estimates. Interestingly, the stock is up 4.4% since reporting and currently trades at $83.69. Read our full report on MetLife here, it’s free. With a sales force of over 140,000 licensed representatives operating on an independent contractor model, Primerica (NYSE:PRI) provides term life insurance, investment products, and other financial services to middle-income households in the United States and Canada. Primerica reported revenues of $872.3 million, up 8.6% year on year, outperforming analysts’ expectations by 1.9%. The business had a strong quarter with an impressive beat of analysts’ book value per share and revenue estimates. Although it h...

Image source: The Motley Fool. Thursday, May 7, 2026 at 9 a.m. ET President & Chief Executive Officer — Michel Khalaf Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer — John McCallion Regional President, U.S. — Ramy Tadros Regional President, Asia — Lyndon Oliver Michel Khalaf: Thank you, John, and good morning, everyone. This was an excellent quarter and a strong start to the year as we demonstrated the full earnings power of MetLife guided by our New Frontier strategy. Adjusted earnings were ahead of last year for all operating business segments with across-the-board top line growth. Margins were resilient, and we deployed capital with discipline, investing responsibly in growth and returning excess capital to shareholders. Importantly, this quarter's performance was balanced and repeatable. Each of the key elements that drive our strategy, diversified businesses, disciplined capital allocation and investment portfolio and balance sheet strength all came together to demonstrate the promise and resilience of MetLife's superior value proposition. Year 1 of New Frontier was about building the right engine to drive growth and establish MetLife as a high-quality compounder over time. Year 2 is about acceleration and driving execution across our portfolio of market-leading businesses, where we serve more than 100 million customers. The first quarter provides early evidence that we're moving forward with urgency and discipline and are well positioned to deliver against the ambitious financial commitments we've established. Turning to first quarter results. We reported adjusted earnings of $1.6 billion or $2.42 per share. Adjusted earnings increased 18% from the prior year period. Adjusted earnings per share increased 23% year-over-year, faster than earnings growth, reflecting our steady capital management. Adjusted premiums, fees and other revenues, excluding pension risk transfers, increased 10% year-over-year. Growth was broad-based, spanning nearly all businesses and regions. Variable investment income totaled $518 million pretax, marking the third consecutive quarter of above-expectation VII. The first quarter result was near the top of the range we announced last month and driven by higher private equity returns, roughly 2.9%, aided by strong venture capital performance. Adjusted return on equity was 17%, at the top end of our 15% to 17% target range and f...

MetLife’s first quarter results saw the company outperform Wall Street’s revenue and non-GAAP profit expectations, but the market responded negatively. Management attributed growth to strong premium volumes across all major operating segments, disciplined expense control, and favorable investment returns, particularly in private equity and venture capital. CEO Michel Khalaf emphasized that “adjusted earnings were ahead of last year for all operating business segments with across-the-board top line growth.” Favorable trends in Group Life mortality and broad-based international sales contributed to the positive topline, while integration of asset manager PineBridge added to expenses, which management noted were successfully absorbed due to overall cost discipline.

Revenue: $19.68 billion vs analyst estimates of $19.41 billion (4.5% year-on-year growth, 1.4% beat) Adjusted EPS: $2.42 vs analyst estimates of $2.27 (6.6% beat) Adjusted Operating Income: $2.15 billion vs analyst estimates of $2.34 billion (10.9% margin, 8.1% miss) Market Capitalization: $50.6 billion While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Suneet Kamath (Jefferies) asked about the sustainability of improved working age mortality trends in Group Life. Head of U.S. Business Ramy Tadros explained that while favorable mortality may persist, changes would be reflected in pricing gradually and could moderate over time. Ryan Krueger (KBW) inquired about the drivers behind strong Japan sales and expectations for the rest of the year. Asia head Lyndon Oliver cited successful product launches and distribution strength, but noted that growth rates could moderate due to tough prior-year comparisons. Wesley Carmichael (Wells Fargo) questioned the outlook for spreads in Retirement & Income Solutions given recent core spread declines. CFO John McCallion said spreads should stabilize or improve modestly, but highlighted ongoing headwinds from a flat yield curve. Thomas Gallagher (Evercore) probed MetLife’s investment allocation strategy, particularly around shrinking commercial mortgage...

In early May 2026, MetLife, Inc. reported first-quarter revenue of US$19,074 million and net income of US$1,185 million, outpacing the prior year, declared quarterly dividends on its Series A, E, and F preferred shares, and continued its buyback program, which has retired 21,901,426 shares for US$1.69 billion since April 2025. Beyond the headline earnings beat, the combination of higher profitability, ongoing share repurchases, and continued preferred dividends highlights how MetLife is using capital returns to reinforce its broader life insurance and asset management franchise. We’ll now examine how MetLife’s better-than-expected first-quarter earnings and capital return actions interact with its existing investment narrative. Invest in the nuclear renaissance through our list of 87 elite nuclear energy infrastructure plays powering the global AI revolution. To own MetLife, you generally need to believe in the resilience of its global life insurance and benefits platform, supported by disciplined capital management and underwriting. The latest earnings beat, buybacks, and preferred dividends reinforce that capital return remains a key near term support, while interest rate sensitivity and credit quality in its investment portfolio still look like the most important risks to watch. Overall, this news does not materially change the core near term catalyst or the main risk. The recent update that MetLife has retired 21,901,426 shares for US$1,686.95 million under its ongoing buyback is the clearest link to that capital return story. By shrinking the share count after a stronger quarter, the company is leaning into one of the main supports for earnings per share and book value per share, even as commercial mortgage loan performance and reserve levels stay in focus as potential constraints on how far this can continue. Yet while capital returns look supportive today, investors should be aware of how quickly commercial mortgage loan losses or reserve shifts could affect...

Global insurance giant MetLife (NYSE:MET) fell short of the market’s revenue expectations in Q1 CY2026 as sales only rose 1.3% year on year to $19.07 billion. Its non-GAAP profit of $2.42 per share was 6.6% above analysts’ consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy MetLife? Find out in our full research report. Net Premiums Earned: $12.12 billion vs analyst estimates of $11.65 billion (6.4% year-on-year decline, 4% beat) Revenue: $19.07 billion vs analyst estimates of $19.41 billion (1.3% year-on-year growth, 1.7% miss) Pre-tax Profit: $1.51 billion (7.9% margin) Adjusted EPS: $2.42 vs analyst estimates of $2.27 (6.6% beat) Book Value per Share: $37.92 vs analyst estimates of $58.37 (7.1% year-on-year decline, 35% miss) Market Capitalization: $51.72 billion Founded in 1863 by a group of New York businessmen during the Civil War era, MetLife (NYSE:MET) is a global financial services company that provides insurance, annuities, employee benefits, and asset management services to individuals and businesses worldwide. Insurers earn revenue three ways. The core insurance business itself, often called underwriting and represented in the income statement as premiums earned, is one way. Investment income from investing the “float” (premiums collected upfront not yet paid out as claims) in assets such as fixed-income assets and equities is the second way. Fees from various sources such as policy administration, annuities, or other value-added services is the third. Over the last five years, MetLife grew its revenue at a sluggish 3.2% compounded annual growth rate. This fell short of our benchmark for the insurance sector and is a tough starting point for our analysis. Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. MetLife’s annualized revenue growth of 4.4% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, which is encouraging. Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers, impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business. This quarter, MetLife’s revenue grew by 1.3% year on year to $19.07 billion, falling short of Wall Street’s estimates. Net premiums earned made up 69.1% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning insurance operations are MetLife’s largest sourc...
