PRS - Aflac Vs. Prudential: Own The Duck Not The Rock
Prudential Financial Inc. 5.625% Junior Subordinated Notes due 2058
This article compares the profitability and valuation of two top North American insurers, Aflac and Prudential, over the past 20 years and projects the next 10.
Of the two, Aflac looks like the profitability "tortoise" while Prudential looks like a relative "hare." Aflac's dividend growth is steadier and backed by higher quality earnings.
Even though Aflac trades at more than double the valuation multiples as Prudential, it seems well worth this higher multiple for its higher quality financial performance.
In terms of the two insurers' logos, my conclusion is to "own the duck, not the rock."
