The last part of an II article comparing M&G and Pru:

Prudential has firmer credentials as all-round recovery share

Pru’s 2024 income statement benefits from a near-50% positive swing in the net finance expense from insurance contracts, but performance-wise, its insurance service result rose 10% and the net investment result by 22%, with reported net profit up 41% to $2,415 million (£1.865 million) and earnings per share by 36%.

While $600 million or so is being paid out in respect of 2024 dividends, $785 million was “returned̶1; so to speak last year as part of a $2 billion share buyback programme which continues. Moreover, net cash from operations soared from $832 million to $3,609 million. Buybacks tempered growth in year-end cash to 21% to $5,772 million.

If compromises can be found on US tariffs – which could take a lot more pain by way of US economic data, to force the current breed of Republicans out their “Make American Great Again” dogma – then Prudential currently looks the best-placed of the London-listed insurance/investment giants.

But if the US administration stays stubborn, mind the risk of how “developing markets”, lately a plus point for Prudential, could turn negatively for the medium term. Repeatedly over decades, “emerging markets” get promoted as resilient to a downturn then get hit in a wider one, hence the adage about how “you cannot escape in an emergency”. This, I believe, is the essential hinge in Prudential’s risk/reward profile, and that financial market volatility remains a key factor.

Overall, and despite my missing the recent rally, at around 785p today I rate Prudential a “buy” for total long-term return.

my second biggest holding, i am pleased to say. have been buying heavily since i thought the share price made a double bottom. i would like to have seen a more positive new funds flow but the market seems to have taken that without problems.

the short term target for a double bottom is 840p (red line), which does co-incide with a resistance level. getting above that will be key. then you might really start seeing some action!

currently i think the share price is deciding how quickly it wants to go up.

what this chart does seem to show best is that horrible downtrend starting in early 2023 has now been broken. i would like to see the share price rising on a bigger volume, this would give me more confidence. perhaps pru has just got so unloved that everyone still thinks it is a dog and haven't got on board as yet.
the section at the bottom is the on balance volume. if rising out of a flat zone, that gives confidence of a new uptrend being in place.

thanks wad
very happy with my position in this company and very positive recent share price action. good times ahead. if there is a pop up tomorrow/thurs, pru will get a lot of investor attention because downtrend would clearly have ended with a very strong 3 month bounce. has exposure to the right markets atm.
my only doubt re the results is that gbp has been strengthening over the last 3 months and this might cause a dip in q4 profits compared to expectations. unless it has been hedged to advantage.
needless to say, gbp will crater at some point and leave space for bigger profits in the future.
so heads i win, tails i win. just a matter of timing. i hope!!!

currently 740p
has made a clear break above 720p which i made out as the base for a double bottom.
840p is the first target if the floor was around 600p. current share price is just deciding how quickly the uptrend is going to be.
don't think people can really believe it has stopped going down, but there seems reasonable charting evidence for a change in trend to upwards is in place.
if the price doesn't make sense, buy!!
once the share price is trending upwards, the buybacks leverage the eps growth%, so when the next results come in everyone gets excited by the numbers without working out how it happened. and that is when the fun starts.
my second biggest holding after stan. bb's have done wonders for that!

Pru will not quit the London market, but it must grow its Asian investor base (they know the markets Pru operates in much better than historic western investors and are likely to give it higher valuation). It will become increasingly like Standard Chartered, British in name only.

There is limited value in cross border ownership of insurance these days. Local capital rules continue to dominate and excess capital is held in complex groups.

It is always desirable to have majority control over subsidiaries to be able to release value to the Group. There may well be a divergence of views over the future of the JVs between ICICI and Pru. Having sold down to 22% on the Life JV, we may see a similar quantum of change on the Asset Management side.
The last results showed ICICI-Pru IM managed about US$100bn which is growing quickly. Investment Management is a high volume low margin business if they are making 25bps that would be $250m pa profit and on a multiple of 10x (conservative given growth prospects) a value of about $2.5bn, 30% would be about $750m before taxes. It will be interesting to see what the IPO valuation is and how much Pru manages to extract after tax…..possibly up to $1bn depending on conditions and what % is sold.

Market report


Prudential said that should it go ahead with the spin-off of its Indian arm, the net proceeds would be returned to shareholders and that it would provide a further update ‘at an appropriate time’.

Bank of America analysts said the move ‘could be a positive catalyst’, adding: ‘We think several investors are not aware of the value of this business.’ Shares in Prudential surged 5.8 per cent, or 39.4p, to 722p.

ICICI Bank, which holds the remaining 51 per cent, said it intended to retain the stake.

Prudential, an insurer with historical roots in the UK, where its typical agent was once termed the ‘man from the Pru’, is today purely focused on Asia and Africa.

Its chairman, Baroness Vadera, is based in London, but Anil Wadhwani, who has been chief executive since early 2023, leads the business from Hong Kong.

Prudential has repeatedly batted off suggestions that it might quit London itself.

as to specifics i have no idea salver.
however china is a big market for pru and their wealth management
so can only assume if the china economy is hit, pru is also indirectly
the nightmare situation is if they get to the point of treating any contact with china as they currently do with iran. but if it got to that point, i'd have bigger things to worry about than the pru sp
my guess is that any china deal is a plus for pru, and atm even no news is good news
Posted at 14/1/2025 15:56 by sigmund freud
£600m in trade deals sounds like pennies for China. and not a lot for us.
Interesting to hear Chair of PRU was there though. only thing to negate it was that someone from abrdn was there too.

PRU has a p/e of 8-9, yield of 2-% but consistently covered 4-5* (someone please explain why different websites have so varied financial calcs). last year's peg was 1 and eps growth 12%, but with endless buybacks the latter 2 will look even better soon.

it does indeed look like where the banks were 18-24 months ago. and i made a shed-load from them!

PRU based in a growth region which has rapidly-expanding wealth. chatter re a potential partial sale of eastspring.

it is possible that the Trump inauguration is peak china-related share despair, and all his BS will turn out to be just that.

my direct line shares are getting sold to average down my PRU again

Indeed, more good news from China today with a further large liquidity boost and a nice kick up the jacksie for the PRU share price. Happily back to profit (from £3K down, yikes) but thinking I might reduce my exposure a little now.
