Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). 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.

  • The company offers a dividend yield of 3.36%, providing a steady income stream for investors, which is particularly attractive given the stock's recent price appreciation and its position above the 200-day moving average.

Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Vodafone Group Public Limited for these reasons:

  • The company has a negative P/E ratio of -70.80, indicating that it is currently unprofitable, which may raise concerns about its financial stability and ability to generate earnings for shareholders.
  • Despite recent upgrades, the consensus rating from analysts remains "Hold," with two analysts issuing Sell ratings and one assigning a Hold rating, suggesting a divided opinion on the stock's long-term potential.
  • Margherita D. Valle sold 2,658,846 shares of Vodafone Group Public Limited stock on July 28, 2026, at an average price of GBX 122, which could signal insider uncertainty or a desire to reduce exposure to the company.
  • The stock's beta of 0.33 indicates low volatility relative to the market, which may limit upside potential during strong market rallies, making it less attractive for growth-oriented investors seeking higher returns.
  • Vodafone Group Public Limited has a high debt-to-equity ratio of 103.96, suggesting significant leverage that could increase financial risk, especially if interest rates rise or the company faces operational challenges.
