The consensus mark for revenues is $73.2 billion, implying a rise of 2% from the 2023 figure.

<h2>Solid Return on Equity</h2>
Return on equity in the trailing 12 months is currently 21.4%, which is higher than the industry&#39;s average of 16.2%. This substantiates the company&#39;s efficiency in utilizing shareholders&#39; funds.
<h2>Business Tailwinds</h2>
A key revenue contributor is MetLife&#39;s steady premiums, which have been recovering from pandemic-driven declines. Premiums are witnessing a steady increase in the Group Benefits business, wherein it rose 4% year over year in the first half of 2024. Growth has also been robust in its EMEA and Latin America segments, further contributing to the company&#39;s revenue stream.
MetLife&#39;s focus on streamlining its business, coupled with strategic acquisitions and partnerships, is expected to drive long-term growth. The company has expanded its presence in key areas like vision care and pet insurance through acquisitions, such as Versant Health and PetFirst. It has also strengthened its benefits offerings through partnerships with firms like Aura and Nayya.
A strategic push into private credit investments, marked by the acquisition of Raven Capital, and a collaboration with Fidelity Investments on a fixed immediate income annuity further diversify its business portfolio. Additionally, MetLife continues to reduce volatility by divesting capital-intensive units and intensifying focus on high-growth areas. &nbsp;
MetLife&#39;s cost-saving measures have resulted in notable operational improvements. Between 2015 and 2020, the company saw an improvement of 230 basis points in its direct expense ratio. This efficiency trend has continued, with the direct expense ratio remaining below the guided 12.3% in the first half of 2024.
MetLife also benefits from a strong liquidity position, with short-term debt of $390 million as of June 30, 2024, significantly overshadowed by its $20.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents. This financial strength underpins shareholder returns through repurchases and dividend payments. In April 2024, management approved a 4.8% dividend increase.

(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cno#NYSE">CNO</a>), MGIC Investment Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mtg#NYSE">MTG</a>) and Palomar Holdings, Inc.
