MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. 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.

Keurig Dr Pepper
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Keurig Dr Pepper Inc.:

  • Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. recently reported third-quarter earnings that exceeded analyst expectations, posting $0.66 in earnings per share against a consensus estimate of $0.62, while revenue of $7.34 billion also surpassed the projected $7.33 billion, demonstrating strong operational performance and top-line growth of 70.6% year-over-year.
  • The stock is currently trading at $38.25, which is near its 52-week high of $38.29, reflecting a significant upward momentum that has seen the share price rise from a low of $24.88 earlier in the year, indicating strong investor confidence and positive market sentiment.
  • Wall Street analysts have recently raised their price targets, with Barclays increasing its target to $41.00 and UBS Group lifting its objective to $42.00, both maintaining overweight or buy ratings, which suggests that institutional investors expect further upside potential in the stock price.
  • Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. offers a dividend yield of 2.45%, providing a steady income stream for investors, with a recent quarterly dividend of $0.23 per share paid in October, which is attractive for those seeking consistent cash flow alongside potential capital appreciation.
  • The company has seen increased institutional interest, with Retirement Systems of Alabama boosting its stake by 664.0% in the third quarter and other major investors like Saudi Central Bank increasing their holdings, signaling that large-scale investors are confident in the company's long-term stability and growth prospects.

Keurig Dr Pepper
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. for these reasons:

  • Short interest in Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. has increased significantly, with shares shorted rising to 65.8 million as of late October, representing a 4.85% short percentage of the float, which indicates that a notable portion of the market is betting against the stock's future performance.
  • The company's dividend payout ratio is currently 84.40%, meaning it is distributing a large portion of its earnings as dividends, which may limit its ability to reinvest in growth initiatives or absorb financial shocks, potentially constraining future earnings growth.
  • Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.73, indicating a moderate level of leverage, which could become a burden if interest rates remain high or if the company faces economic downturns, potentially affecting its financial flexibility and credit profile.
  • Some analysts, such as TD Cowen, have maintained a hold rating with a price target of $35.00, which is below the current stock price of $38.25, suggesting that there may be limited upside potential and that the stock could be overvalued relative to its fundamental performance.
  • The company's current ratio of 0.52 and quick ratio of 0.32 indicate that it has limited short-term liquidity, meaning it may struggle to cover its immediate liabilities with its current assets, which could pose a risk in times of financial stress or unexpected expenses.
