MetLife, Inc. is currently running 20.0% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against MET's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 35th percentile — on the quiet side for this stock, against a typical reading of 23.0%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

MET is trading -0.5% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -20.2%, and the deepest was -55.3% in 2020. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.

Price sits +18.8% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 93rd percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year MET closed higher on 51% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On October specifically: over 14 years of records, MET finished the month higher 9 of 14 times, with a median return of +1.9% and an average of +1.5%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +5.3% on average, its weakest March at -3.4%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: MET has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 110 of 3,268 sessions (3.4% of the time), with the largest gaps running +5.9% and -8.3%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, MET moved an average of 2.8% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 3 times, with a median move of -2.0% and a largest of +3.8%.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-10-16 and 2026-10-15, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against MET's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
