Consensus Price Target

N/A

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.

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

  • Despite the positive ratings, there has been a recent decline in stock price, down about 1.1%, which may indicate short-term volatility and uncertainty.
  • Some analysts have downgraded their ratings, with one firm moving from a "buy" to a "hold," suggesting that there may be concerns about future performance.
  • The company's price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 11.55, while not excessively high, may indicate that the stock is not undervalued compared to its earnings, which could limit upside potential.
  • Institutional ownership is relatively low at 1.90%, which may suggest a lack of confidence from larger investors, potentially impacting stock stability.
  • Market conditions can be unpredictable, and as a financial services provider, Prudential plc may be affected by economic downturns or regulatory changes that could impact profitability.
