New York, July 25 (FinanceEnquiry.com) – Analysts at Moody’s Investors Service has affirmed debt ratings of Prudential Financial Inc (NYSE: PRU) and the insurance financial strength ratings of its life insurance operating subsidiaries at A2. The outlook on the ratings has been positive.

The rating agency also noticed that PRU continues to have sufficient liquidity at the holding of the company, which stood more than $3.0 billion of net cash.
