Prudential Earnings: Earnings Momentum Remains Solid, but the Firm’s Valuation Is Rich
No-moat-rated Prudential Financial reported a steady set of numbers in the third quarter as aftertax adjusted operating income came in at $1.26 billion, or $3.48 per share, in the current quarter versus $1.33 billion, or $3.62 per share, in the third quarter of the previous year. The third-quarter results benefited from higher assets under management in the PGIM business and favorable underwriting results in its US business, but they were offset by weaker underwriting margins in the international business and higher expense pressure.
