Prudential - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Should I Buy Prudential Stock? PUK Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Saturday, March 29, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these Prudential pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Prudential
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Prudential plc:

Prudential plc recently announced a dividend increase to $0.33 per share, reflecting a 37.4% rise from the previous dividend of $0.24. This increase indicates a commitment to returning value to shareholders and suggests strong financial health.
The company has demonstrated a consistent track record of raising dividends, averaging a 9.4% increase per year over the last three years. This trend can be appealing to income-focused investors looking for reliable returns.
As of the latest trading session, Prudential plc's stock price is $21.44, which is near its one-year high of $21.26. This strong performance may indicate positive market sentiment and potential for further growth.
Prudential plc has a relatively low price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 9.24, suggesting that the stock may be undervalued compared to its earnings. A lower P/E ratio can attract value investors looking for stocks that may offer good returns.
The company has a solid dividend payout ratio of 27.8%, indicating that its dividends are well-covered by earnings. This ratio suggests that Prudential plc is managing its profits effectively while still rewarding shareholders.

Prudential
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Prudential plc for these reasons:

StockNews.com recently downgraded Prudential plc's rating from "hold" to "sell," which may signal concerns about the company's future performance and could lead to decreased investor confidence.
The stock has shown volatility, with a beta of 1.21, indicating that it may be more sensitive to market fluctuations compared to the overall market. This could pose risks for investors who prefer stable investments.
Despite the recent dividend increase, the company has a relatively low market cap of $28.21 billion, which may limit its growth potential compared to larger competitors in the financial services sector.
Prudential plc's stock has a price-to-earnings-growth (PEG) ratio of 0.41, which, while indicating potential value, also suggests that the market may have low expectations for future earnings growth.
Recent trading volumes have been below average, with only 863,412 shares traded compared to an average of 1,018,487. Low trading volume can indicate reduced investor interest, which may affect liquidity and price stability.
