Prudential Public
Bear Case

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

The stock has shown volatility, with recent trading fluctuations indicating potential instability in the short term.
Despite positive ratings, the company's quick and current ratios are both at 0.04, suggesting potential liquidity issues that could affect its ability to meet short-term obligations.
Prudential plc's beta of 1.03 indicates that its stock price is slightly more volatile than the market, which could pose risks for risk-averse investors.
While the company has a strong market presence, competition in the insurance and asset management sectors is fierce, which could impact future growth prospects.
