Keefe Bruyette raised its price target on Prudential to $106 from $100 on May 13, 2026, reflecting confidence after Q1 operating EPS of $3.61 beat $3.13 consensus and revenue of $15.23B topped estimates with 13.6% YoY growth. Maryann Mannen was elected to the board as an independent director effective May 12, 2026, joining the Corporate Governance and Compensation committees. The company also declared a $1.40 quarterly dividend payable June 11 to holders of record May 26. However, operating margin compressed to 4.8% from 6.9% YoY and the Japan unit sales suspension remains an unexpected, contained headwind that management is working through. Risk: prolonged Japan disruption and margin compression could cap upside despite revenue strength.
