Read MoreHide Full Article
Prudential (PRU - Free Report) reported $13.01 billion in revenue for the quarter ended December 2024, representing a year-over-year decline of 0.1%. EPS of $2.96 for the same period compares to $2.58 a year ago.
The reported revenue compares to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $14.15 billion, representing a surprise of -8.08%. The company delivered an EPS surprise of -9.76%, with the consensus EPS estimate being $3.28.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
