About Prudential

Originally established in 1848 as the Prudential Mutual Assurance, Investment, and Loan Association, Prudential has changed a lot since. Set up to sell life insurance and loans to the middle class, the company subsequently diversified into Europe and then North America with the purchase of Jackson National Life around 1985. During its time as owner of Jackson, Prudential focused on building a simple chassis-style product portfolio that allowed customers to choose from a variety of add-ons. The company also became renowned for its focus on building the internal capabilities required to support its strong product offerings, including compelling technology and a large well-trained wholesale salesforce.

What the Analysts think about Prudential

Analyst ratings (Buy, Hold, Sell) for Prudential stock.
Analyst projections of the future price of Prudential stock.

Bulls say / Bears say

New business profit rose 8% to $1.38 billion in the first half of 2026, while the new-business margin widened to 40%. This points to growth in sales that is becoming more profitable. (Prudential)
Growth beyond China gives Prudential other engines: new business profit rose 13% across ASEAN markets, and the company is increasing its stake in its Malaysian life business while expanding in India. That could reduce reliance on any single market over time. (Prudential)
Shareholder returns are rising alongside operating cash generation. Prudential returned $1.0 billion in the first half, raised its interim dividend by 15% and added $300 million to its 2026 buyback. (Prudential)
China’s reported 20% tax on returns from Hong Kong insurance policies could make those products less attractive to mainland customers. Prudential’s shares fell sharply after reports that authorities had begun applying the tax. (Reuters)
Regulatory changes to mainland China’s bank-distribution channel and a shift towards lower-margin products cut new business profit there by 4% in the first half. Prudential expects mainland new business profit for 2026 to be similar to 2025, limiting growth from that market. (Reuters, Prudential)
Reported IFRS profit after tax fell 27% to $995 million in the first half, while the free-surplus ratio declined from 221% to 209%. The gap between weaker reported profit and stronger adjusted measures, alongside a smaller capital cushion, is a risk to watch. (Prudential)
