Sell

Reason

Morgan Stanley analyst Bob Huang lowered the firm's price target on Brighthouse Financial to $41 from $52 and keeps an Underweight rating on the shares. On average across the firm's life insurance coverage, Q1 EPS estimates declined 3% from prior estimates and its 2025 EPS estimates declined 4% from prior estimates, though results vary across companies, notes the analyst in a preview for the group. For underwriting-oriented companies that should not be as sensitive to equity market fluctuations, the firm's estimates generally did not change as much, but it still moved underwriter estimates down as they likely face an incrementally more challenging operating environment, the analyst noted.

Reason

Raymond James upgraded Brighthouse Financial to Strong Buy from Market Perform with a $72 price target. In January, the Financial Times reported that Brighthouse is seeking to sell itself, notes the analyst, who believes the company could unlock "substantial value" via a whole company sale or carve up or by using creative options to free up capital. The firm estimates a baseline whole company sale valuation of $77 per share and thinks Brighthouse could potentially generate a higher valuation by selling multiple pieces of its business to the respective highest bidders, noting that it estimates a standalone valuation of $66 per share.

Wells Fargo analyst Elyse Greenspan upgraded Brighthouse Financial to Equal Weight from Underweight with a price target of $59, up from $41. The firm cites media reports of a potential sale for the upgrade. Brighthouse has "scarcity value as it is one of the few standalone annuity platforms that still does not have a strong sponsor/alternative investment manager entanglement," the analyst tells investors in a research note.
