Prudential Financial (PRU) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Prudential Financial operates in the diversified insurance sector, generating approximately 50% of its earnings from U.S. businesses and 40% from its strong international segment, particularly in Japan, while PGIM significantly contributes around 10% of earnings with $1.3 trillion in assets under management. The life insurance industry has shown gradual improvement over the past decade, benefiting from reduced liability tail risk, higher interest rates, and demographic trends, which are expected to enhance growth and cash flow for Prudential. Additionally, the company's strategic actions aimed at improving business mix and cost efficiency are anticipated to bolster earnings per share (EPS) growth, despite ongoing adjustments to earnings estimates due to revised retirement strategies.
Bears say
Prudential Financial's operating earnings have been negatively impacted by an "immaterial error," leading to a reduction of 3Q24YTD operating EPS by $0.31, or 3%. The company's asset management segment, PGIM, reported $1.38 trillion in assets under management for 4Q24, below expectations and reflecting a 1.4% quarter-over-quarter decline, which contributes to a negative outlook. Additionally, revisions in financial results and the delay of anticipated transactions, coupled with reducing earnings estimates for 2025 and 2026, further compound concerns regarding Prudential Financial's future performance.
