Principal Financial Group (PFG) has seen substantial trading activity recently with various firms adding or offloading the shares in their portfolio. These include Graham Capital Management L.P., Prana Capital Management LP, and BNP Paribas Financial Markets. Deutsche Bank AG and Captrust Financial elevated their stock holdings, while firms like Ethic Inc. and Mercer Global Advisors reduced their positions. PFG's first quarter 2025 earnings, unveiled a strong EPS growth but the actual earnings missed expectations. The strong growth factors were countered by a marked decline in stock by 6%, however, they anticipate a strong full-year and Q4 2025 performance. As per recent assessments, an enhanced profit raise is powered by higher premiums and market uncertainties. There are speculated concerns over PFG underperforming the financial sector. Some improvements are seen with the announcement of a dividend increase and they secured an enviable A+ rating from AM Best. Price targets were raised by analysts with Morgan Stanley forecasting a strong price appreciation for PFG. However, some estimates lowered such as that from Evercore ISI and EPS estimates for 2025 and 2026. PFG sets a positive example with its acceptance of ethical business practices and it reported extensive assets under management.
