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.

Prudential
Bull Case

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

Recent institutional investments indicate strong confidence in Prudential plc, with significant purchases from firms like Verition Fund Management LLC and Y Intercept Hong Kong Ltd, suggesting a positive outlook for the company's future performance.
The stock price of Prudential plc is currently $17.05, which is near its 12-month low of $15.10, potentially offering a buying opportunity for investors looking for value in a recovering market.
Prudential plc has received a "strong-buy" rating from Barclays, indicating that analysts expect the stock to perform well in the near future, which could lead to price appreciation.
With a diverse portfolio that includes life and health insurance and asset management solutions, Prudential plc is well-positioned to benefit from growth in emerging markets in Asia and Africa.
Recent increases in holdings by institutional investors, such as a 15% increase by Bank of Montreal Can, reflect growing institutional confidence in Prudential's business model and market strategy.

Prudential
Bear Case

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

Despite recent positive ratings, StockNews.com downgraded Prudential plc from a "hold" to a "sell" rating, indicating potential concerns about the stock's short-term performance.
The stock has experienced volatility, with a 12-month high of $22.93, suggesting that it may be subject to fluctuations that could impact investor returns.
Only 1.90% of Prudential plc's stock is currently owned by institutional investors, which may indicate a lack of widespread confidence among larger investment firms.
Prudential plc's recent trading volumes have been below average, which could suggest lower investor interest and liquidity issues, making it harder to buy or sell shares without affecting the price.
The company's reliance on markets in Asia and Africa may expose it to geopolitical risks and economic instability in those regions, which could adversely affect its financial performance.
