Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Prudential Financial stock:

• 1. Wells Fargo & Co analysts commented, "We expect a modestly favorable reaction to Q1 earnings in PRU shares." (5/4/2017)
• 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of Prudential Financial outperformed the Zacks categorized Multi line insurance industry, in the last one year. It remains well poised for growth on the back of its high performing asset management business, widespread international operations and deeper reach in the pension risk transfer market. It strives to build its leadership position in the pension risk transfer market, having great potential. Expanded international presence provides it with better organic growth opportunities than peers. Also, a strong balance sheet and efficient capital management are tailwinds. It now expects ROE between 12% and 13% in the near to intermediate-term. However, exposure to low interest rates, unfavorable currency impact and regulatory control remain headwinds. It is set to release first quarter results on May 3. A Zacks Rank #2 increases the predictive power of a beat, but combined with Earnings ESP of 0.00% makes prediction difficult." (4/18/2017)
