Jackson Financial Inc (JXN) saw its stock price surge 5.45% in pre-market trading on Thursday, following the release of its impressive first-quarter earnings report for 2025. The financial services company significantly outperformed analyst expectations, driving investor enthusiasm.
For the quarter ended March 31, Jackson Financial reported adjusted earnings of $5.10 per share, surpassing the mean expectation of $4.93 from five analysts. This result also marked a substantial improvement from the $4.23 per share reported in the same quarter last year. While revenue slightly decreased by 0.6% to $1.99 billion, it still beat the analyst consensus of $1.78 billion. Despite reporting a quarterly loss of $35 million on a GAAP basis, the strong adjusted earnings figures appear to have overshadowed this aspect.
Adding to the positive sentiment, Barclays reiterated its Buy rating on Jackson Financial and raised its target price from $106 to $108. This move by Barclays underscores confidence in the company's performance and future prospects. However, it's worth noting that the overall analyst consensus remains at "hold," with a median 12-month price target of $90.00, suggesting a mix of optimism and caution in the market's outlook for Jackson Financial.
