JPMorgan analyst Jimmy Bhullar calls Lincoln National (LNC) and Prudential Financial (PRU) his top picks in Life Insurance. The analyst maintains a neutral stance on the sector into the Q1 reporting season but is less cautious than previously. He expects pricing in most product lines to be rational and says the recent rise in interest rates is a "notable positive." Bhullar keeps Overweight ratings on Lincoln and Prudential with price targets of $87 and $126, respectively. The analyst remains negative on Underweight-rated Brighthouse Financial (BHF) and lowered his price target for the shares to $57 from $61.
