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.

Should I Buy NatWest Group Stock? NWG Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Friday, September 25, 2026. Please send any questions or comments about these NatWest Group pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

NatWest Group
Bull Case

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

The stock is currently trading at $690.86, which is significantly below the consensus price target of GBX 769.38, suggesting potential upside for investors who believe the market is undervaluing the company relative to its earnings power.
NatWest Group plc offers a high dividend yield of 5.13%, providing a substantial income stream for investors, which is particularly attractive in a market where many growth stocks offer little to no dividend payout.
The company has a low price-to-earnings ratio of 9.26, indicating that the stock is trading at a discount compared to its earnings, which can be a sign of value for investors looking for companies that are not overpriced relative to their profits.
Recent analyst activity has been positive, with Citigroup raising its price target to GBX 860 and JPMorgan Chase & Co. increasing its target to GBX 830, reflecting growing confidence in the bank's future performance and strategic direction.
The company has a low beta of 0.81, meaning its stock price tends to be less volatile than the overall market, which can provide a more stable investment experience for risk-averse investors.

NatWest Group
Bear Case

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

Insider selling activity has been notable, with Paul Thwaite selling 260,000 shares and Katie Murray selling 111,000 shares in September 2026, which could signal a lack of confidence from those with the most knowledge of the company's internal operations.
The consensus rating is only "Moderate Buy," with four analysts rating the stock as "Hold" and four as "Buy," indicating a divided opinion among financial professionals about the stock's future performance and potential risks.
The stock is trading near its 52-week high of $726.00, which could mean that much of the positive news and analyst upgrades have already been priced in, leaving less room for short-term gains.
The company's earnings per share for the most recent quarter was GBX 38.10, which is lower than the average sell-side prediction of 45.97 for the current year, suggesting that the company may be facing challenges in meeting its earnings expectations.
The stock has experienced significant volatility, with a 52-week low of $504.41 and a high of $726.00, indicating that investors may face substantial price swings and uncertainty in the short term.
