OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#insurance<\/a>--AM Best <\/b>has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of A+ (Superior) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings (Long-Term ICR) of \u201caa-\u201d (Superior) of the life\/health insurance subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (PFI) (Newark, NJ) [NYSE: PRU], collectively referred to as Prudential. Concurrently, AM Best has affirmed the Long-Term ICR of \u201ca-\u201d (Excellent) of PFI and all Long- and Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings (Long-Term IR; Short-Term IR) of the group. The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. (Please see below for a detailed listing of the companies and ratings.)<\/p><\/a><\/a>

\nThe ratings reflect Prudential\u2019s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, very favorable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM).<\/p>

\nWhile the ratings were affirmed recently on Feb. 6, 2026, these rating affirmations reflect a reassessment of Prudential\u2019s ERM to appropriate from very strong. The change was driven by the ongoing investigations into misconduct by Prudential of Japan\u2019s Life Planners. The scale of the misconduct indicates a need for enhanced governance to detect issues earlier, limit their impact, and reduce the risk of recurrence. AM Best will continue to monitor the investigations and Prudential\u2019s steps toward enhancing its ERM program.<\/p>

\nThe FSR of A+ (Superior) and the Long-Term ICRs of \u201caa-\u201d (Superior) have been affirmed with stable outlooks for the following subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc.:<\/p>
