Actually, LLY and ZM were up. MSFT was flat. But your point is well taken. However, PRU was down 58% while the S&P was down 34% during the peak of the bear. That's a pretty significant difference.

NDX is now down 9.7% from its all time high while PRU is still off 41%.

I have taken a look at a bit of the fundamentals of PRU and think I have an idea why the stock has so grossly underperformed.

The problem is that in this instance there were literally no safe stocks in the pandemic crash


Stock like Microsoft, Amazon and Gilead are up on the year.
And Gilead is a high dividend payer and has a below market PE
