Prudential PLC's Buyback Could Mark Turnaround in Stock Performance -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-24

1057 GMT - Prudential PLC's announcement of a larger-than-expected buyback could be the first catalyst for a turnaround in the performance of its shares, JP Morgan Cazenove says in a note after the insurer launched a $2 billion program. "Prudential will never be a highyield stock; however, in recent quarters investors have started to question the quality of cash generation from its life business - we think this buyback will help to assuage these concerns," the analysts write. They also welcome its clearer capital management policy with the introduction of a free surplus ratio metric and its confidence in meeting its 2027 financial targets. Shares in London rise 6.5% to 752.8 pence and are down 15% year to date. (elena.vardon@wsj.com)
