  • Prudential Shares Drop Despite Positive Full-Year Results and Growth Outlook
    March 18, 2026, 9:56 AM EDT. Prudential PLC's shares fell nearly 5% despite posting full-year results with new business profit and earnings slightly exceeding expectations. Analysts from UBS and Deutsche Bank noted a softer free surplus ratio at 221%, below the expected 230%, due to increased capital requirements in Hong Kong. This ratio measures capital held above regulatory minimums, influencing dividends and investment capacity. Positive drivers included stronger performance in China and a 27% rise in bancassurance profits. Management reaffirmed double-digit growth targets for 2026 and remains on track for 2027 goals. Both UBS and Deutsche Bank maintain 'buy' ratings with target prices 24-28% above current levels, reflecting confidence amid regional regulatory challenges.
