Jefferies initiates coverage on Prudential Financial (NYSE: PRU) with a Buy rating and a price target of $100.00.

Analyst Colin Devine comments, "PRU offers an attractive share valuation, good growth potential and a balanced mix of businesses that can deliver a 14-16% ROE despite low rates or uneven markets. In our view the market has over discounted risks of oversight by the Federal Reserve and possible capital requirements; expect valuation to rise in 2015 as these abate."
