Thursday, June 28, 2012, 5:41 AM Veolia Environnement (VE) agrees to sell 90% of its regulated water unit in the U.K. for £1.24B ($1.92B) to Rift Acquisitions, a JV between Prudential (PUK) and Morgan Stanley (MS). The sale is part of Veolia's strategy to quit half the 70 countries it operates in and sell assets worth €5B by 2013 as it seeks to cut its debt to below €12B. (PR) 1 Comment [M&A]
Tuesday, December 20, 2011, 11:15 AM Prudential (PUK) Chairman Harvey McGrath is to step down in 2012 once a successor has been found. McGrath's departure may have been inevitable after he received much of the blame for the U.K. insurer's botched attempt to buy Asian rival AIA from AIG for $35.5B. Prudential's ADRs +4.35%. Comment! [Financials]
Friday, August 5, 2011, 9:10 AM Premarket gainers: WWWW +13%. PCLN +12%. ALU +11%. TI +10%. AIB +8%. KOG +7%. STM +7%. ING +7%. SNV +5%. ERIC +5%. HUN +6%. NTT +5%. ABB +4%. SQNS +5%. FRO +5%. RCL +5%. NOK +5%. TKC +5%. BBVA +4%. LNKD +4%. STD +4%. NGB +4%. VE +4%. CTIC +4%. IRE +3%. PUK +3%. AMR +3%. AKS +3%. MT +3%. ARMH +3%. SNDK +3%. RENN +3%. WPPGY +3%. MPEL +2%. LYG +2%. UBS +3%. MGM +3%. RIG +2%. LCC +3%. CRM +3%. ANR +3%. PCX +3%.
Losers: IPSU -42%. MIPS -25%. CLGX -23%. BRCD -18%. SD -8%. SSN -7%. PACB -4%. AHCI -3%. LPL -3%. Comment! [On the Move]
Friday, August 5, 2011, 7:17 AM Prudential Plc (PUK) uncorks a stronger-than-expected earnings report, led by a 25% jump in operating profit. The firm's Chief Executive points to a strong focus in Southwest Asia as a catalyst to boost revenue 27% (Y/Y). The U.K. insurer also discloses it holds no sovereign debt exposure to Greece, helping lift shares +1.6% premarket. Comment! [Global & FX, Financials]
Thursday, May 19, 2011, 12:52 PM After just 78% of investors vote for his re-election (down from previous 99%), Prudential Plc (PUK +2.2%) Chairman Harvey McGrath says it's a "pretty good mandate" and calls himself a "lightning rod" for shareholder concerns after Pru's failed $35.5B bid for AIG's (AIG) AIA unit. 1 Comment [Global & FX, Financials]
Thursday, April 21, 2011, 7:46 AM The U.K.'s FSA is reportedly investigating Prudential's (PUK) failed $35B bid for AIA. In particular, sources say regulators are focusing on whether Pru's I-bank advisers carried out their duties properly; Pru was advised by Credit Suisse (CS), JPMorgan (JPM) and HSBC (HBC). Comment! [Financials, Top Stories]
Wednesday, September 22, 2010, 8:11 AM Sources say AIG (AIG) is nearing a deal to sell two Japanese life-insurance companies to Prudential Financial (PRU) for a combined $4-5B. A deal would help AIG repay the more than $90B it owes taxpayers. Earlier this year, a $35.5B deal to sell AIA to Prudential plc (PUK) disintegrated after shareholders balked at the price. 2 Comments
Sunday, September 12, 2010, 4:51 PM Prudential (PUK) may be the target of a takeover offer by a group of Chinese investors who had backed Pru's failed bid for AIA Group (AIG). Sources say the deliberations are still in early stages, while Pru says it is aware of the potential interest but hadn't opened talks yet. 4 Comments
Thursday, August 12, 2010, 7:28 AM Prudential (PUK): H1 operating profit +41% to £968M ($1.5B) vs. consensus of £724M. Costs of failed AIA (AIG) deal cut to £377M ($591.4M) from £450M, with a second bid for AIA (or any other big takeover) completely ruled out. Increases half-year dividend by 5% to 6.61 pence/share. Shares +2%. Comment!
Friday, July 30, 2010, 11:13 AM Pressure from investors to get rid of Prudential Plc's (PUK) executives is dropping, as sources say the biggest shareholders aren't joining in a revolt over its failed bid for AIA - and another annual meeting is 10 months away. Comment!
Monday, July 19, 2010, 7:44 AM As rumored, AIG (AIG) CEO Robert Benmosche names Mark Tucker as the head of the company's AIA unit, just months ahead of its planned IPO. Tucker ran Prudential’s (PUK) Asian business for a decade and served as its CEO from 2005 until 2009. Comment!
Friday, June 25, 2010, 9:08 AM Despite headline-grabbing withdrawals - like Prudential's (PUK) aborted $35.5B purchase of AIG's Asian life unit and Simon Property's (SPG) spurned $6.5B bid for General Growth Properties (GGP) - withdrawn M&A is at a five-year low of just 8.3%. 1 Comment
Monday, June 14, 2010, 7:58 AM AXA (AXAHY.PK) is in talks to sell part of its U.K. life insurance unit to Resolution Ltd. for £2.75B ($4B). European insurers are increasingly trying to free up capital reserves backing policies in slow-growth markets like the U.K. in order to fund growth in Asia, where the margins are wider. Comment!
Monday, June 7, 2010, 7:55 AM At Prudential's (PUK) annual general meeting today, CEO Tidjane Thiam will have to convince investors calling for his resignation that he has an alternate plan for Asian expansion. Rumors had circulated that Pru was considering a second AIA (AIG) bid, but the company called the speculation "misguided and inaccurate." Comment!
Sunday, June 6, 2010, 11:37 AM Prudential (PUK) doesn't plan to revise its bid for AIA (AIG), the company said in an email today. Earlier reports had Pru CEO Tidjane Thiam considering a "daring attempt" to resurrect a bid for the Asian business. Comment!
Friday, June 4, 2010, 3:58 PM Prudential (PUK) CEO Tidjane Thiam publicly apologizes for the company’s failed $35B attempt to buy AIG’s (AIG) main Asian unit. “For us, it was an unexpected outcome and a big surprise” that AIG didn’t accept the lower offer, he said, and it was always the intention to renegotiate the price. 3 Comments
