Prudential Financial, Inc. is a leading global financial services firm with operations across the United States, Asia, Europe, and Latin America, specializing in investment management, insurance, and retirement security.
In its third-quarter 2024 earnings report, Prudential Financial announced a net income of $448 million, a significant turnaround from the $802 million net loss recorded in the same quarter last year. The report highlights strong performance across its global investment, insurance, and retirement businesses, despite some declines in adjusted operating income.
Key financial metrics include an increase in net income per share to $1.24, up from a loss of $2.23 per share the previous year. Assets under management grew to $1.558 trillion, reflecting a 15% increase. The company returned $721 million to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, maintaining a robust shareholder return strategy. Prudential’s U.S. businesses showed strong growth in retirement strategies, with record sales in pension risk transfers and annuities. However, international businesses saw a slight decrease in operating income due to less favorable underwriting results.
Prudential’s strategic initiatives continue to evolve, with the company focusing on expanding its distribution capabilities and product diversification, highlighted by a recent $11 billion reinsurance transaction. PGIM, its global investment management business, reported increased operating income and assets under management, driven by equity market appreciation and net inflows.
Looking ahead, Prudential Financial remains optimistic about delivering long-term value to stakeholders, supported by its strategic shifts and strong market positioning. The company is committed to enhancing its global investment and insurance offerings to meet the diverse needs of its customers worldwide.
