Greenlight Capital discussed Brighthouse Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:BHF) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

“Brighthouse Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:BHF): After years of frustration, the company put itself up for sale, which led to a sale process that culminated in a buyer agreeing to purchase the company. While the valuation at less than two-thirds of book value is not exciting, it does provide us with a reasonable exit from a challenged situation. We likely will write more about this after we do, in fact, exit.”
