In other recent news, Prudential has seen a positive shift in its stock rating from CFRA, with analyst Alex Goh upgrading the rating from Hold to Buy. This upgrade comes alongside an increase in the price target from GBP8.00 to GBP10.00, reflecting a favorable outlook on Prudential’s financial performance and growth potential. The company reported a 12% year-over-year rise in new business profit for the first quarter of 2025, reaching $608 million. This growth aligns with Prudential’s guidance for 2025 and supports a projected compound annual growth rate of 15% to 20% for new business profit from 2022 to 2027. The company aims for an objective financial services growth of over $4.4 billion by 2027, up from $2.6 billion in 2024. Goh’s valuation of Prudential is based on 1.8 times the projected 2025 price-to-book value, which is below the company’s 10-year average and its peers’ average. Despite this, Goh finds Prudential’s current 29% discount compared to peers unwarranted given its strong financial indicators. The analyst has maintained earnings per share forecasts for Prudential at $1.05 for 2025 and $1.24 for 2026, supported by the company’s consistent growth outlook.
