Context and risks
The rise in US Treasury yields to 5.17% is a structural tailwind for MetLife: as a life insurer, its bond portfolio gains in yield and widens the intermediation margin. The effect is positive and material, given the size of its investment portfolio.

Verdict: Hold or accumulate: the tailwind of high rates and reasonable valuation support the thesis, although quality (operating margin 5.52%) and ROA (0.45%) limit upside potential.
Main risk: The main risk is the sensitivity of the investment portfolio to a sharp change in rates: if the Fed cuts sooner than expected, the return on the bond portfolio compresses and the intermediation margin narrows, affecting financial health.
