Prudential Plc

I must clarify that while I can provide general information about public companies, I don't have real-time access to databases, and my knowledge is based on the information available until my last training cut-off. Prudential Plc is a British multinational insurance company, and it is not listed on the US stock exchange. However, it used to have an ADR (American Depositary Receipt) listed on the OTC market under the symbol PUK.A, but it was delisted in 2021.

Prudential Plc operates in various business segments, including life insurance, asset management, and financial services. As of 2020, the company had operations in the United States, Asia, the United Kingdom, and Europe.

About the financial performance, for the full year 2020, Prudential Plc reported an operating profit of £3.4 billion (approximately $4.7 billion), a decrease of 21% compared to the previous year, due primarily to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lower financial markets. The company's adjusted operating profit margin stood at 16.9% for the year.

In terms of growth, the company has been focusing on expanding its operations in Asia and other emerging markets, which are expected to drive growth in the long term. Prudential has also been actively divesting its non-core businesses to focus on its core operations in the Asia region.

Regarding the company's dividend history, Prudential has been paying dividends consistently for many years. However, the company reduced its dividend for the year 2020 by 40%, citing the uncertain economic outlook and the need to preserve financial flexibility amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Note that while I strive to provide accurate information, it is essential to conduct your research and consider seeking advice from financial advisors or analysts for up-to-date and specific investment advice related to Prudential Plc.
