Modest decrease to 2018 EPS forecasts

Following MET's 2018 Outlook call, we have lowered our normalised EPS forecasts by 1-2%. The main impacts come from a slight delay in the expense savings that MET intends to generate following the spin-off of BHF as well as some slightly slower premium growth guidance in some divisions. While we continue to have a favourable view of the shift to less capital intensive operations, the process will be gradual and low interest rates continue to weigh on MET's remaining spread-based businesses. We retain our Neutral recommendation and price target of $55.
