What are Wall Street analysts saying about Prudential Financial stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Prudential Financial stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Prudential shares have outperformed the industry year to date. The company continues to gain from asset-based businesses, improved margins in Group Insurance business and solid international operations. High performing asset management business, deeper reach in the pension risk transfer market, strong balance sheet and an efficient capital management are catalysts. Prudential expects return on equity between 12% and 14%, adjusted earnings per share growth in high single digit, and mid-to- high single digit earnings growth across PGIM, International and U.S. Financial Wellness in the intermediate term. However, exposure to low interest rates as well as to products like annuities and universal life, which yield low returns, remains a concern. Escalating expenses continue to weigh on margin expansion." (9/10/2019)
- 2. Wells Fargo & Co analysts commented, "We are maintaining our $115 price target. We expect shares to be largely unchanged following the investor day." (6/6/2019)
