Andrew Sinclair has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Prudential’s strong financial performance and promising future prospects. The company has reported impressive double-digit growth across key metrics, surpassing expectations in its latest results update. This growth is expected to continue, supported by a robust capital management strategy that includes significant commitments to returning capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks.
Prudential’s new business profits have also shown a substantial increase, with strong margins and a positive mix contributing to this growth. The company is on track to maintain this momentum, with targets set for continued double-digit growth in new business profits. Additionally, Prudential’s operating profits and cash generation have both exceeded forecasts, further reinforcing the positive outlook. The company’s strategic capital returns, including planned buybacks and dividend growth, underscore its commitment to enhancing shareholder value, making it a top pick in its sector.
In another report released today, Barclays also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a £10.90 price target.
PRU’s price has also changed moderately for the past six months – from p730.800 to p974.600, which is a 33.36% increase.
