Prudential PLC (LSE:PRU) reports full-year results on 17 March, and the numbers Deutsche Bank is watching most closely sit inside the cash flow statement rather than the headline profit line. The bank, which rates the stock a 'buy' with a 1,355p price target, forecasts new business value of $2.7 billion, embedded value of $39.3 billion, IFRS operating profit of $3.25 billion and a dividend of 25.44 cents per share for the year.

UBS has reiterated its ‘Buy' recommendation on Prudential PLC, with the Swiss bank expecting the insurance and financial services firm to return around 16% of its market capitalisation to shareholders over the next three years. The bank's analysts meanwhile, also raise their 12-month price target to 1,400p from 1,385p, with the increase reflecting a higher valuation for ICICI AMC following its listing.

Shares in Prudential PLC (LSE:PRU) are valued lower than others in the wider sector as investors continue to take a cautious view, despite the insurer's exposure to fast-growing markets in Asia and Africa, according to analysts at UBS. That caution means the stock is trading at one of the highest market-implied costs of equity in the sector of between 12% and 13.5%, a measure that reflects the return investors demand for holding the shares.
