Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

NatWest Group
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in NatWest Group plc:

  • The stock is currently trading at $699.39, which is significantly below the consensus price target of GBX 761.88 set by analysts, suggesting substantial upside potential for investors who believe the market is undervaluing the company's current performance.
  • NatWest Group plc offers a high dividend yield of 5.13%, providing a strong income stream for investors, which is particularly attractive given the company's stable position as a UK-focused bank serving over 20 million customers.
  • The company has a low price-to-earnings ratio of 9.38, indicating that the stock is relatively inexpensive compared to its earnings, which can be a sign of value for investors looking for undervalued financial stocks.
  • Recent analyst actions, such as Citigroup raising its price target to GBX 840 and Berenberg Bank increasing its target to GBX 880, reflect growing confidence in the company's outlook and potential for future growth.
  • NatWest Group plc reported a strong return on equity of 16.16% and a net margin of 21.17% in its latest earnings, demonstrating effective management and profitability that can translate into shareholder value.

NatWest Group
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in NatWest Group plc for these reasons:

  • Insider selling activity, such as Paul Thwaite selling 260,000 shares and Katie Murray selling 111,000 shares on September 2nd, could signal a lack of confidence from company insiders in the stock's near-term performance.
  • The stock has a beta of 0.82, which, while lower than the market average, still indicates some level of volatility that could lead to price fluctuations, especially in a changing economic environment.
  • Despite the "Moderate Buy" consensus, the presence of three analysts with a "Hold" rating suggests that some experts are cautious about the stock's potential, indicating a divided opinion on its future trajectory.
  • The company's recent 52-week low of GBX 504 and high of GBX 726 show a wide range of price movement, which could result in significant losses for investors if the stock trends downward.
