# MetLife: Competitors & Industry Structure

## Direct Answer

SEC EDGAR classifies MetLife under SIC code 6311 (Life Insurance). Among Swoopr's S&P 500 Equal Weight companies, 9 others share that classification; by latest reported revenue, MetLife ranks 1 of 10. A filing classification is a starting point: a company's real competitors depend on its segments, which its 10-K describes.

## How Does MetLife Compare With Its Peers?

| Company | Revenue (latest FY) | Revenue growth | Operating margin | Net margin |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **MetLife (MET)** | $77.1 billion FY2025 | 8.6% | 8.0% | 4.1% |
| [Prudential Financial (PRU)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/prudential-financial/) | $60.8 billion FY2025 | -13.7% | n/a | 5.9% |

| [Brighthouse Financial Inc. (BHF)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/brighthouse-financial-inc/) | $6.8 billion FY2025 | 43.2% | n/a | 4.9% |
| [Globe Life (GL)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/globe-life/) | $6.0 billion FY2025 | 3.7% | n/a | 19.4% |
| [Primerica Inc. (PRI)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/primerica-inc/) | $3.3 billion FY2025 | 6.6% | n/a | 22.8% |
| [Citizens Inc. (CIA)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/citizens-inc/) | $256 million FY2025 | 4.3% | n/a | n/a |
| [Atlantic American Corporation (AAME)](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/atlantic-american-corporation/) | $188 million FY2024 | 0.8% | -2.6% | -2.3% |

Revenue growth compares each company's latest fiscal year with the one before. Fiscal years do not always end on the same date, so treat close comparisons with care.

## How Does MetLife Rank Among All SEC Filers in Its Industry Code?

10 companies with annual reports in Swoopr's SEC dataset share SIC code 6311 (Life Insurance), a wider group than the S&P 500 Equal Weight companies above. Ranks run from 1 (highest) and use each company's latest fiscal year, in U.S. dollars.

| Measure | MetLife | Median of filers | Rank |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Revenue | $77.1 billion | $7.5 billion | 1 of 10 |
| Revenue growth | 8.6% | 4.0% | 2 of 10 |
| Net margin | 4.1% | 5.0% | 7 of 9 |

A SIC code reflects the filer's main business as the SEC records it, so the group mixes companies of very different size; the median is a better guide than the average, and a rank near the top by revenue says nothing about quality.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value MetLife reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001099219-26-000013 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
