METLIFE INCPrice
Shariah compliance
METLIFE INC is not compliant because of what its business does, not because of its balance sheet.
It clears the financial screens: debt vs. market cap is 0.67% against a 33% limit. Nothing in the arithmetic is close to a threshold.
Its core business is conventional banking and finance — classified as “Insurance - Life”.
Interest income not separately disclosed and cash position is elevated (613.1% ≥ 20% of market cap). Cannot safely assert compliance; manual review required.
(cash + interest-bearing securities) / market cap = 613.09% (≥ 33% limit).
- Undisclosed interest income + elevated cash position (cash+securities / market cap = 613.1% ≥ 20%); manual check required.
