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].
