The stock draws comparison with peers such as MetLife and AIG as investors weigh capital strength, dividend policy and sensitivity to interest rates.
How Prudential Financial is positioned
Prudential Financial operates primarily through its US insurance and retirement businesses, offering life insurance, annuities, group benefits and investment management solutions to individuals and institutions.

Sector lens on PRU and peers
Analyst and model-based overviews of PRU highlight how changes in Federal Reserve policy, credit spreads and equity market levels can influence the insurer’s earnings outlook and capital returns.
