Prudential Share Discussion Threads

I've just sold into the rally, who knows where they gonna go. Divi isn't good enough for me to hang on, holding l&g where divi is better, also aviva where I think the share price more likely to rise. Pru I think is being held back by uncertainty in China. G.L though vacendak, cld see you were lonely on here so thought I'd add my 50p worth inflation! Used to b 5p!!

Sale of business in Korea:



This must have been a good deal. PRU is jumping by more than 6% at the moment.

[vacendak] 25/8/2016 08:57

Ex-date today: 12.93 per share, up 0.6p from the same interim last year.
As usual, steady as she goes.

Now if that share price could go back up a bit for good instead of hovering at £13-£14, that would be slightly more exciting.

Hello there, feeling lonely around here. Nobody seems to talk about PRU, which is odd as it seems to be traded every few seconds at times.

About the GS guidelines, I am with you there; not much trust in them but it costs nothing to hope.

The bad news are mostly from M&G, their funds are performing poorly.
"M&G and Aberdeen howlers top the ‘Spot the Dog’ funds" said the FT in a July 29th article.
I guess this is what is holding down PRU. That and the bane of low interest rates for life insurance and pension management.

Some good results announced today in this RNS

[vacendak] 14/7/2016 10:36

Getting battered like most financials at the moment.
Still holding, hoping still to sell at the £20 a share that was expected not so long ago.

Holding PRU is meant to be safe and boring after all.

Read Panmure's note on Prudential (PRU), out this morning, by visiting hxxps://www.research-tree.com/companies/uk/life_insurance/prudential_plc …
“Following the 2015 year end results we are cutting our operating earnings forecasts for 2016/17 by 8% and 10% respectively. Although our new EPS forecasts are lower than 2015, it is worth highlighting the latter benefitted from c£400m of one-off UK ‘management actions’. Excluding this positive impact we are forecasting further continued progress in 2016 over 2015. The 10p/share special dividend announced in February was in line with our view that Pru is overcapitalised and has excess capital to return to shareholders. Although the share price has been under pressure this year reflecting lower investment markets and others have cut their target prices we maintain…̶1;

Hey I am fine Churchill - just minor confusion based on incorrect advfn site - already sorted

[churchill2] 28/3/2016 10:47

Get a grip fellows. Go into the Prudential website and you will find a payment of

36.47 which includes a special payment of 10p payable 20th May 2016.

[davr0s] 27/3/2016 18:02

My apologies - looks like the advfn data wrong

[robo175] 26/3/2016 01:40

48.78 Divi.

[davr0s] 23/3/2016 18:19

No one seems to be buying for the 36p divi first thing tomorrow

[steeplejack] 11/2/2016 08:35

What incompetence as Alliance 'in the know' News puts an RNS by Prudential Financial of the US on the Prudential LSE listed bulletin board.Not a good advert for a service I try to ignore.

Usual spin about speculation on Capital Controls in China! The spin caused the share to fall, obviously instigated by some hedge fund maggot! Today China announces they will NOT introduce capital controls! These shares should be £20 / share! Hedge fund speculators should be arrested and sent to prison for 35 years for fraudulently trying to rig the market! On the other hand rather than costing tax payers money sending them to prison, a 35p bullet would be more cost effective and then feed them to the maggots. A common sentiment when referring to hedge fund shysters!

crazy pricing today. its the february sales

[davr0s] 02/2/2016 14:16

So I am avoiding high growth/volatile shares so decided to buy some of these last month. Bad decision ! Down 7% in half a day - what the heck is going on? Are they in the oil business?

[npp62] 29/1/2016 16:08

What's the divi like here? Looking for a little safe ish haven...

[utyinv] 24/1/2016 00:16

Is this share at the turning point yet and will the next results surprise us on the positive side?

[twistednik] 15/1/2016 11:40

Going to get in on these as I see them as good value due to the worries over China. Long-term demographics (growing Asian middle class) and Chinese growth are still positive.

They may fall further in the interim but this will be an opportunity to top-up.

[davr0s] 06/1/2016 15:54

I've added today - nice to see a completely silent board, not that anyone on here would affect the share price!

[ursus] 06/1/2016 09:55

ftse 100 company. no attention from posters. must be worthwhile....
