MetLife
FY2025 revenue $77.1B (+8.6% YoY); adjusted EPS $8.89 (+10%). AI-powered fraud detection improved claim identification by 73% and boosted NPS by 7%. Sprout.ai partnership automates claims across US, Asia, and LATAM. AI upsell personalization increased conversion rates 22%.
Scenarios
73% better fraud detection is direct P&L impact — at MetLife's scale ($57.6B premiums), each point of fraud reduction is worth $575M+. AI-driven upsell (22% conversion lift) compounds over 90M+ customers.
Life insurance is structurally slow-growth. AI efficiency gains face competitive pressure — rivals deploy similar tools, normalizing any edge. Emerging market exposure adds FX risk AI cannot hedge.
