Prudential plc
PUKPrudential plc's earnings have outrun its stock. EPS grew +82.7% in a year against a +20.1% price move.
The sharpest disagreement: annual EPS moved +82.7% against a +20.1% price move — the market has not yet caught up with the delivery.
The price is in a confirmed uptrend (2 weeks in). Underneath, the last four quarters read improving — profit +24.1% year on year, with the the net margin at 36.2%. What settles it: whether the price catches up with earnings that have already moved.
Price story Before the numbers, the tape. A stock price moves through four repeating seasons: a flat base (stage 1), an advance (2), a top (3), a decline (4). Where the price sits in that cycle frames everything below.
Prudential plc trades at $30.1, in a confirmed uptrend and 2 weeks into that stage. That is +1.7% against its own 200-day average. It sits at 61% of a 52-week range of $25 to $33. On relative strength it is currently behind the S&P 500 on a trailing-13-week view (21 weeks and counting).
Today the stock is in a confirmed uptrend — week 2 of stage 2. At $30.1 it trades +1.7% versus its 200-day average and sits at 61% of its 52-week range ($25–$33).
Against the market, two honest reads. Cumulative: over the last 10.1 years the stock moved −5% while the S&P 500 moved +263% — behind the index over the full window. Recent form: on a trailing-13-week view the stock is currently behind (21 weeks and counting; last ahead the week of 2026-03-13) — the ribbon below is that same metric, week by week.
What would end the trend, mechanically: two Friday closes in a row below the 200-day line. That is the exit rule — no debates.
Valuation For a bank we price the book, not the earnings: P/BV is what the market pays for each $1 of the bank's net worth. A bank below 1× book is priced below the value of what it owns, net of what it owes.
Prudential plc trades at 1.7× P/BV, against too little history to rank. This places the multiple against the stock’s own record, and says nothing about what the business is worth.
Today's P/BV of 1.7× is against too little history to rank. This is a comparison against the stock's own history — not a claim about what it is worth.
Why the multiple sits where it does: over the past year book value grew while the price moved +20.1% — price and book moved together, holding the multiple in its range.
Put together: the multiple is unremarkable against its own past, so the story rests on the book-value line underneath it, not the multiple.
Stage: Improving Every business sits somewhere on a fundamental arc, and this page names the spot before anything else. The last twelve quarters of revenue, profit and EPS growth — plus the return the business earns on its capital — are read as curves: Deteriorating (the curves are falling), Turning around (a trough has just formed and the last few quarters lift off it), Improving (the climb off the trough is sustained), Consistent (steadily positive with healthy returns), Topping out (still high but decelerating from the peak). When the curves genuinely disagree the read is Mixed; too little history is No read. CAGR (compound annual growth rate) is the smooth yearly pace that turns the starting value into the latest one — the fairest way to compare growth across different time spans. Read the columns together: if the 1-year number towers over the 10-year, recent growth is running hotter than the long-run trend. A dash means that window is not held, or the base year was a loss (where a growth rate is not meaningful).
Prudential plc reads as improving on its fundamental arc. Improving — profit growth bottomed 7 quarters ago at −142.9% and has held its recovery at +197.4%, ROE lifting at 69.8%. The read is built from 12 quarters across 4 curves, on full evidence.
Why it matters: a sustained climb off the trough is the setup this page is built to catch — the question moves to what you pay for it.

4-Factor Sector Score
50.7/100 — rank 16 of 17 in Insurance - Life · 50% evidence confidence · provisional, ranked below fully-evidenced peers
Prudential plc scores 50.7 out of 100 against the 17 companies it is compared with in Insurance - Life, ranking 16. Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.
The four contributions add to the total exactly: 18.7 + 17.8 + 13.1 + 1.1 = 50.7. This is the SAME number shown on the sector comparison — it is computed once, for the whole peer set, and read here.
What would change it: The read weakens if ROA rolls over or gross NPA rises while sector-relative strength deteriorates.
Revenue For a bank, revenue is everything the franchise earns — interest on the loan book plus fees from its businesses.
Prudential plc reported $17.0 B of income in the Dec 25 quarter, +50.0% year on year. That is the 3rd straight quarter of year-on-year growth. Over 4 years it has compounded at −20.0% a year. The last full year, FY25, came in at $20.0 B. The last four reported quarters add to $43.4 B.
FY25 revenue came in at $20.0 B (+17.1% on the year), capping 4 years at −20.0% compound. The latest quarter (Dec 25) printed $17.0 B, +50.0% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth.
Pace check: the last four quarters averaged +35.4% growth against the decade's −20.0% — the current year is running faster than its own long-run rate.
Net margin Net margin — what the bank keeps of every $100 of revenue after every cost, provision and tax. With big fee businesses in the mix, it is the cleanest margin we can read for this bank.
Prudential plc's net margin is 36.2% in the Dec 25 quarter, −7.6 percentage points against the same quarter a year ago. That is the widest this company has ever printed on a full-year basis. Across the last four quarters the net margin has moved +9.6 percentage points. Across 5 fiscal years the net margin has ranged −27.6% to 20.6%.
The latest quarter's net margin is 36.2%, −7.6 pp against the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 fiscal years the net margin has ranged −27.6%–20.6%, and FY25's 20.6% is the top of that band — a record year.
Why: the numbers show the net margin move clearly, but the cost lines behind it sit below what we hold — so we state the move without inventing its driver.
Worth repeating from the valuation section: cheap against its own history on record margins is not the same thing as cheap — a record margin flatters every ratio built on top of it.
Net profit Net profit is what survives every cost, interest and tax — the number EPS, dividends and book value all grow from.
Prudential plc earned $6.2 B of net profit in the Dec 25 quarter, +24.1% year on year. It is the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $4.1 B. The 4-year compound rate is −5.8%. That is 36.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $1.8 B.
Dec 25 profit was $6.2 B, +24.1% year on year — the 3rd consecutive quarter of growth. On the full year, FY25 printed $4.1 B (+70.2%), and the 4-year compound rate is −5.8%.
Why profit moved: revenue contributed +50.0% and the margin −7.6 pp — the quarter was revenue-led despite a thinner margin.
Pace comparison, last four quarters: profit +119.5% vs revenue +35.4%. Profit is growing faster than sales — fixed costs are being spread over a bigger base, and each extra dollar of revenue drops more to the bottom line.
Asset quality — the ladder Gross NPA is the slice of the loan book where repayments have stopped. Net NPA is what remains after the money already set aside against those loans. Falling is healing; rising is damage arriving.
Loan-book quality history is not available for Prudential plc, so this section names the gap rather than estimating a ratio. No gross or net non-performing-asset series is filed in a form this page can read, and none is inferred from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections above carry the evidence this business does report.
We do not hold quarterly loan-book quality numbers for this bank, so this section states that plainly rather than working around it.
Why: loan-book quality is the engine room of a bank, and its drivers — slippages, recoveries, provisioning — sit below what we hold for this name; the sections around it carry the reads we can stand behind.
The loan book We read the loan book through revenue — when the book and the businesses grow, revenue grows with them. It is a rough proxy, and we say so: rate moves and fee swings can shift it a few points in any one year.
Prudential plc's revenue grew +17.1% in FY25 to $20.0 B, so the book is growing. The latest quarter ran +50.0% year on year. The net margin on that income is 36.2%, −7.6 percentage points against a year ago. Interest income is a proxy for the book; rate moves can shift it a few points in any one year.
FY25 revenue was $20.0 B, +17.1% on the year, and the latest quarter ran +50.0% year on year. The net margin on that revenue is 36.2% this quarter (−7.6 pp YoY) — growth with a narrowing margin on it.
The synthesis: a lender compounds when the book grows while the margin holds and the loan book stays clean — with quarterly loan-quality numbers missing here, revenue growth and margin are the two we watch.
Returns on equity and assets Two numbers rate a bank: ROE — what it earns on shareholder money — and ROA — what it earns on everything it deploys. ROE above ~13–15% earns its keep; below that, growth builds book slowly.
Prudential plc earns a return on equity of 19% in FY25. Its trough over the ladder below was −9% in FY22. On the asset side every $100 of the balance sheet earned about $1.89, which is the return before leverage is applied.
FY25 ROE came in at 19%, recovered from a FY22 trough of −9%. On assets, the latest reading is about 1.89% — every $100 the bank deploys earns roughly $1.89 a year. That clears the bar a bank must beat for its book value to compound.
Why ROE moved: profit compounded −5.8% a year over 4 years while the equity base grew more slowly — earnings recovering faster than book value builds is what lifts ROE off a trough.
Dividend
Prudential plc pays no dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters it has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings rather than distribute them, which makes the cash-flow and reinvestment sections the place that cash shows up.
Prudential plc does not currently pay a dividend. Across the last 12 reported quarters the company has declared no dividend per share, so there is no payout history to chart and no yield to quote. Companies at this stage typically reinvest earnings instead of distributing them.
Debt
For a bank, borrowings are raw material, not a warning sign — solvency is read through the returns and the loan book. A manufacturer’s debt is a claim against its profits, so the debt-to-equity lens that works everywhere else misleads on a lender and is not applied here.
A manufacturer’s debt is a claim against its profits; a bank’s borrowings are its inventory — money taken in to be lent out. The debt lens that works everywhere else misleads here, so this page does not apply it. The solvency questions for a bank — is the loan book sound, is the equity earning — are read through the loan-book and returns sections above.
Ownership There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read here, so we read the crowd through short interest — the slice of tradable shares currently sold short, positioned for a fall.
0.0% of Prudential plc's tradable float is currently sold short — the crowd is not positioned against this stock. At typical trading volumes those positions would take about 0.8 days to buy back. There is no quarter-by-quarter holder register to read for this filer, so the crowd is read through short interest instead.
The latest reading: 0.0% of the float is sold short, and at typical trading volumes it would take about 0.8 days to buy those positions back. The crowd is not positioned against this stock. This is a single point-in-time reading — we do not yet hold its history, so we show no trend chart.
Why it sits there: who is doing the shorting, and why, does not travel with the number — the level is shown without inventing its story.
Safety line The Z-score estimates how far a company sits from balance-sheet distress — above roughly 3 is safe, below roughly 1.8 is the danger zone. It was built for manufacturers, so it is not applied to banks and lenders.
Prudential plc: the Z-score is omitted — it was built for manufacturers, not banks, and applying it here would be theatre. The Z-score was built for manufacturers and is not applied to banks and lenders, so solvency here is read from the capital and asset-quality lines instead.
The safety line in one sentence: the Z-score is omitted — it was built for manufacturers, not banks, and applying it here would be theatre.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step curve the sector itself is placed on — basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep — read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is widening or shrinking. It describes where the PRICE stands, not the earnings trajectory and not a recommendation, and it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read.
