Model update: remain Overweight

We are updating our PRU model to reflect Q4 results, revenue trends and guidance from management on tax. Following this, our forecasts are more or less unchanged. We have lowered our operating EPS in FY18 by 0.2% but increased our operating FY19 EPS by 0.1%. Positive developments in the US operations, particularly relating to rising interest rates, are largely offset by a slightly more subdued outlook in the international operations. We forecast an effective tax rate of 22%, which is in line with our previous assumption. Our valuation and price target remain at $140 and we retain our Overweight recommendation.
