Hadley Cohen has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that indicate a promising outlook for M&G Plc. The company started the year with a solid performance, surpassing consensus expectations in several key areas such as Asset Management Assets under Management (AM AuM), Underlying Capital Generation, and solvency. This positive momentum is expected to continue into the second half of the year, supported by net inflows into Pru Funds and the beneficial impact of the Dai Ichi partnership.
Moreover, M&G’s Asset Management division showed particularly strong results, with net inflows significantly exceeding expectations, driven by robust international operations. Although there were some challenges, such as higher-than-expected net outflows in the Life segment, the overall operating capital generation was ahead of expectations, indicating a strong underlying performance. Despite a slight miss in Adjusted Operating Profit due to one-off factors, the company’s solvency position remains strong, further justifying the Buy rating.
