Principal Financial Group Inc. (PFG) has been involved in several trading activities. The company sold off some of its own shares and underperformed compared to competitors on several days. Norges Bank bought a new stake in PFG, while other institutional investors either sold or decreased their holdings, including BNP Paribas Financial Markets and Retirement Systems of Alabama. Amalgamated Bank and International Assets Investment Management LLC went against this trend and increased their stakes. The company’s Q1 2024 earnings call exceeded analyst forecasts, and its full-year earnings for 2023 revealed a revenue beat but an EPS lag. The company is also expected to increase its dividend to $0.71. Questions about whether PFG's stock is undervalued have arisen, given its financial health and recent performance. AM Best affirmed the company’s credit ratings, and it scored positive marks for rising relative strength and a proactive 2024 outlook. However, a strategic SWOT analysis indicates potential barriers to its outperformance in the market. The company is also looking to expand its holdings by acquiring Ascensus's ESOP business.
