Prudential Financial (PRU) saw its shares drop 4.1% after an earnings miss and a voluntary 90-day suspension of new sales in its Japan unit due to employee misconduct, impacting 2026 adjusted operating income by $300-$350 million. Despite these headwinds, analysts reiterate Overweight ratings with price targets up to $127, citing the company’s strong position in the U.S. retirement market and expanding asset management division. The consensus target price of $120 suggests a 12.1% upside, indicating that the market may be overestimating the impact of the temporary sales pause.
