Prudential PLC (LSE:PRU) shares climbed 4% to 963p on Thursday morning after UBS said the insurer's recent sell-off already reflects a worst-case outcome from concerns over Chinese money flowing into Hong Kong insurance products. The shares recovered some of the losses suffered in recent sessions, with the stock falling around 5% this week and down about 19% since regulatory measures affecting some mainland Chinese investment channels were announced on 22 May.
JPMorgan says Prudential PLC's (LSE:PRU) recent share-price slide has already baked in a bearish view of China-related insurance flows, leaving the Asia-focused insurer looking inexpensive even under a tougher regulatory scenario. The broker, which rates Prudential at Overweight, noted that the shares have fallen more than 10% since concerns emerged over Decree 837, a regulation whose implications for Hong Kong insurance sales to Mainland Chinese Visitor customers remain unclear.
Since March, Prudential Financial has logged a modest total return. Beyond the near-term headwind of the Japan sales suspension, the company's long-term growth picture is holding up. As of March 31, 2026, Prudential had $3.7 billion in liquid assets and billions more in off-balance-sheet resources.
