Prudential Stock Surges 72% in 2025, Outpacing Barclays and IAG
Prudential's stock has delivered a remarkable 72% surge in 2025, eclipsing gains by Barclays and International Consolidated Airlines Group. The insurer's undervaluation—evidenced by a P/E ratio of 12—contrasts sharply with its 13% growth in Q3 new business profit. Analysts project a £13 price target, suggesting 20% upside from current levels.
The FTSE 100 constituent continues to fly under the radar despite outperforming Games Workshop (+48%) and IAG (+33%). This stealth rally follows a period of operational challenges, with Prudential's Asian market execution now driving renewed investor confidence. The disconnect between performance and market attention creates fertile ground for catch-up appreciation.
