Brighthouse Pref C ADR's 15-minute chart has triggered a MACD Death Cross and KDJ Death Cross at 08/11/2025 14:00, indicating that the stock price has the potential to continue declining. This suggests that the momentum of the stock price is shifting towards the downside, potentially leading to further decreases in value.
Brighthouse Financial Inc. (BHF) reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings on August 11, 2025, revealing a significant miss against analysts' expectations. The company's adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $3.43 fell short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 27%, marking a 38.4% year-over-year decline [1].The earnings miss can be attributed to a combination of reduced premiums and lower net investment income, partially offset by a decline in total expenses. Premiums decreased by 8.3% year over year, falling from $200 million to $166 million, while adjusted net investment income dropped by 1.8% to $1.3 billion [1].
Total operating revenues also missed the consensus estimate by 2.1%, declining 2.9% year over year to $2.2 billion. This was primarily driven by lower universal life and investment-type product policy fees and net investment income [1].
The company's stock price has been volatile in recent weeks, with the 15-minute chart triggering a MACD Death Cross and KDJ Death Cross on August 11, 2025, at 14:00. This indicates a potential shift in the stock's momentum towards the downside, suggesting further declines in value [2].
Despite the earnings miss, Brighthouse Financial's share buyback program has been active, with the company purchasing $43 million worth of shares in the second quarter, adding to the year-to-date tally of $102 million [1].
The company's Zacks Rank currently stands at #3 (Hold), reflecting the market's cautious stance on the stock's performance [1].
