The period balance: money in, money out
In the Form 4 filings submitted between Sep 11, 2025 and Oct 5, 2026 there is not one open-market purchase of MetLife, Inc.: 1 sale worth $1.7M and zero dollars bought.
Only codes P and S count, where an insider puts in or takes out their own money. A selling balance like MetLife, Inc.'s is the norm in the S&P 500, where much of the pay comes as stock. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell: it is what was filed.
Every transaction, code by code
| Code | What it means | Trades | Reported amount |

| A | Grant or award | 103 | $2.7M |

| M | Option exercise | 1 | $984k |
| S | Open-market sale | 1 | $1.7M |
| Total | Everything filed in the period | 123 | $16.6M |
25 of the 123 rows carry no usable amount on the Form 4: they count as trades and add $0. The code labels come from the SEC index.

How to read this data
None of the 1 sale in the table is flagged as scheduled (10b5-1 plan), the kind signed months ahead and executed automatically. MetLife has no open-market purchase (code P) in the history, the most common case in the S&P 500: insiders are already paid in stock. The latest filing is from Oct 5, 2026, and a Form 4 arrives up to two business days after the trade.
19 of the 20 rows in the table carry footnotes from the Form 4 itself, folded into the code column and copied verbatim; a row with no footnote means the filing has none.
