PRH trades at a premium with a lower yield, while PFH trades below par with a higher yield and better upside potential.

Prudential remains undervalued, trading below embedded value, with the market applying a negative multiple to the new business profits despite its strong Asian franchise. If PUK's new business multiple re-rates to just 0x, shares could see 12% upside, with further gains from ongoing new business profit growth.

I reiterate my "Buy" rating on Prudential Financial, arguing the market is mispricing temporary headwinds. My valuation model indicates a potential 25%+ upside, supported by a forward P/E near 2020 lows.

The company is pivoting to more stable, capital-efficient products to capture massive retirement market tailwinds.
