The main question: yearly earnings per share moved +23.1% while the share price moved −25.4%. ## What is the Brighthouse Financial share price today? Brighthouse Financial, Inc.'s share price was $42.59 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been moving sideways for 15 weeks. That is 27.6% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $43 and $66, and at that close it was at the low of that range. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 16 weeks running. Over the last 9.2 years the share price moved −27% while the S&P 500 moved +209%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 17 July 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Brighthouse Financial pay? Brighthouse Financial, Inc. pays no dividend. In the last 12 reported quarters it declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to show. Companies like this usually keep their earnings in the business, so the cash-flow sections show where that cash goes. ## Which stock lists is Brighthouse Financial on? Brighthouse Financial is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Brighthouse Financial profitable? Brighthouse Financial, Inc. earned $956 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, +1,493.3% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY25 profit was $331 M. Over 4 years profit has grown −32.1% a year on average. That is 59.3% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $60.0 M. 4 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making. For the full year, FY25 profit was $331 M (+15.7% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +86.7% on a year earlier and the margin moved +52.3 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +537.5% and revenue +2.2%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Brighthouse Financial make, and is it growing? Brighthouse Financial, Inc. reported $1.6 B of income in the Jun 2026 quarter, +86.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown 8.9% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $6.9 B. The last four reported quarters add to $6.8 B. The quarterly figures for FY22 do not add up to the full-year total on file, so those quarters are left out of the charts and sums. FY25 revenue was $6.9 B, +10.4% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +2.2% on average, against 8.9% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −14.9%, against +24.4% a year over the last 8 quarters (rolling over). ## How much does Brighthouse Financial keep from what it earns? Brighthouse Financial, Inc.'s net margin was 59.3% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 52.3 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between −27.1% and 35.2%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## How many of Brighthouse Financial's loans have gone bad? Brighthouse Financial, Inc. does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report. Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up. ## How fast is Brighthouse Financial's loan book growing? Brighthouse Financial, Inc.'s revenue was $6.9 B in FY25, +10.4% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +86.7% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 59.3%, +52.3 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Quarterly loan-quality figures are missing here, so revenue growth and margin are the two we watch. ## What is Brighthouse Financial's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Brighthouse Financial, Inc.'s P/BV is 0.4×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 24% of the time. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 0.6×, over 5.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved −25.4%. Price and book value moved together, so the multiple stayed in its range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved −4.6% a year; about −10.5% a year came from book-value growth and about +5.9 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus book-value growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Brighthouse Financial business getting better or worse? Brighthouse Financial, Inc.'s business trend cannot be read yet. There are fewer than eight usable quarters of growth figures, so there is not enough history to read the trend. This is based on 10 quarters of 2 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: with too little history, we say so rather than guess a direction. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. There are fewer than eight usable quarters, so this page does not guess a direction from so little history. ## How much does Brighthouse Financial earn on its equity and assets? Brighthouse Financial, Inc. earned a return on equity of 5% in FY25. Its lowest yearly reading on file was −24% in FY23. On its assets, every $100 earned about $0.33, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together. That return is below the level a bank needs to grow its net worth quickly, which helps explain why its multiple is where it is. Why ROE moved: profit grew −32.1% a year over 4 years while net worth grew more slowly. When earnings recover faster than net worth builds up, ROE climbs off its low. ## Does Brighthouse Financial have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the Brighthouse Financial shareholding pattern? 12.1% of Brighthouse Financial, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so a large group of traders is betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 6.9 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Brighthouse Financial from balance-sheet trouble? For Brighthouse Financial, Inc., the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does Brighthouse Financial rank in its industry? 27.1 out of 100, rank 17 of 17 in Insurance - Life, with 64% of the evidence available. Brighthouse Financial, Inc. scores 27.1 out of 100 against the 17 companies it is compared with in Insurance - Life, ranking 17. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 13 + 4.3 + 9.8 + 0 = 27.1. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Brighthouse Financial compared with? Brighthouse Financial ranks 17 of 17 Insurance - Life companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 27.1 out of 100. 1.

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
