Principal Financial Group, Inc. (PFG) closed at $118.54 on September 4, 2026, rising 6.50% over the prior 24-hour period in one of the stock's stronger single-session performances in recent months.
The gain built on an already positive stretch for the Des Moines-based financial services company. Over the past seven days, PFG shares advanced 5.69%, while the 30-day change reflected a more measured climb of 3.85%, suggesting the bulk of the upward momentum accelerated late in the period.
With Friday's close, Principal Financial Group's market capitalization stood at $23.83 billion, reflecting the cumulative effect of recent price appreciation across all three tracked timeframes.
The stock's consistent positive trajectory across the 30-day, 7-day, and 24-hour windows points to sustained buying interest, though the sharpest move came in the most recent session, making it the standout driver of the near-term performance picture.
