PRU is up 10% since its 4/21 extension of PoJ's sales suspension to 9

PRU's strategic update was likely delayed by PoJ's issues: On its 1Q:26 call, PRU's CEO led with: REV NA NA +2% +2%

"This is my fifth earnings call as CEO and the first of my second year in the role, an important point to EPS NA NA +6% +4%

take stock of where we are as a company and where we are headed." To us, this comment sounded

like the start of a strategic update conversation, which ultimately didn't happen / was pushed to its 2026 ($) Q1A Q2 Q3 Q4 FY

2Q:26 call by PoJ's issues. If right, it would argue against a major business exit. EPS 3.61 3.40 3.71 3.57 14.30
