Edwards commented "that is unheard of growth for a life insurance company this was truly a KOBATA." KOBATA is Wall Street lingo for "knocked it out of the ballpark above top anticipations." Asked what he felt Prudential should be worth, Edwards said "tangible book value is now at $67.81 per share and the stock currently trades under this amount, so Wall Street traders get a company making $3 billion a year at a price cheaper than their equity, sounds like a great investment to me, yet Wall Street traders would rather buy Priceline" snickered Edwards. Priceline.com Incorporated an online travel company trades at 3/4 the market capitalization as Prudential with 1/10 the profitability and $30 billion less equity.
Prudential is currently trading up 0.81% in after hours trading which is from the time the markets close until 8:00PM where typically machines accept trades usually at a lower volume. Edwards finished "as Jim Cramer would say the stock has no catalyst." But I would say being undervalued is."
