Prudential PLC's New Capital Management Policy in Focus -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jul 15, 2025

1040 GMT - Investor focus will be on Prudential PLC's new capital management policy when it reports first-half results next month, UBS says in a research note. The insurer and asset manager's payout ratio at 65% is affordable from a solvency and free-cash-flow perspective, analysts write. If the group delivers this, its all-in capital return yield could reach around 6% a year, they say. The analysts add that Prudential could return around 20% of its market capitalization to shareholders in the next three years including special share buybacks. "This is significantly attractive for a company that is also growing top line and [earnings per share by more than 10%]," they write. Shares in London have gained 47% year to date.
