Prudential back on the buy list at Deutsche

The headwinds facing the life insurer that intensified this year are starting to ease believes the German broker

Prudential PLC (LON:PRU) is worth considering again after a tough years says heavyweight broker Deutsche Bank.

The headwinds facing the life insurer that intensified this year are starting to ease believes the German broker, which has upped its target price to 1,590p from 1,385p.

Management has taken corrective action and with the recent rise in bond yields the capital position is returning to robust levels.

Bad news on earnings is now more than in the price - with forecast growth of 8% annually from 2018 being twice the sector growth rate.

The shares are oversold says Deutsche, which has also upped its rating to buy from hold.

Shares today were 1,341p.
