An announcement from Prudential ( (GB:PRU) ) is now available.
Prudential plc has admitted additional ordinary shares to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s main market, including a small number issued under its 2023 Sharesave Plan and about 5.7 million shares issued via its scrip dividend alternative for the 2025 second interim dividend. Following these admissions, the company’s total issued share capital now stands at 2,523,956,922 ordinary shares, with the new shares fully fungible with existing stock.
The group also confirmed that unissued shares previously covered by a block listing for its international saving-related share option schemes will not be issued, and it will cease making further block listing applications for those plans in light of changes to UK listing rules. The moves reflect ongoing capital management and employee share plan activity, while simplifying Prudential’s listing administration as regulatory requirements evolve.

Spark’s Take on PRU Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, PRU is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by moderate financial quality: a solid, improving leverage profile and restored profitability, tempered by pronounced earnings/revenue and cash-flow volatility (including a sharp 2025 FCF decline). Earnings-call guidance and shareholder-return plans are constructive and lift the outlook, while technicals are the main drag due to bearish momentum and the stock trading below key moving averages. Valuation is supportive given the low P/E, with a modest dividend yield.
