Goldman Sachs analyst Alex Scott removed Prudential Financial (PRU) from his firm's Americas Conviction List while maintaining a Buy rating on the shares. The analyst also lowered his price target for the stock to $99 from $107. Voya Financial (VOYA) has a better ability to beat earnings estimates in the near term as well as in 2020 and 2021 relative to Prudential, Scott tells investors in a research note. While a good amount "near-term negativity" is already priced into Prudential, the shares do not have many catalysts in the next six months outside of earnings beats, adds the analyst. He sees a more challenging near-term setup for Prudential and shifts his conviction to Voya.
