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

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

Analysts at Argus reaffirmed a "buy" rating on the stock on September 15, 2026, setting a price target of $36.00, which represents a potential upside of approximately 14.3% from the current stock price of $31.49.
The company reported strong second-quarter results on August 6, 2026, with earnings per share of $0.57, beating the consensus estimate of $0.54, and revenue of $7.31 billion, which exceeded analyst expectations of $7.23 billion.
Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. offers a dividend yield of 2.91%, providing a steady income stream for investors, supported by a low beta of 0.40 which suggests the stock is less volatile than the broader market.
Institutional investors have shown recent confidence in the company, with Amundi increasing its position by 30.1% in the second quarter and the National Pension Service raising its holdings by 7.0% during the same period.
The company's international business is gaining momentum, with sales rising 12.4% in the second quarter as markets in Mexico and Canada show strong growth, indicating successful expansion beyond the U.S. market.

Keurig Dr Pepper
Bear Case

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

Short interest in the stock has been rising, with shares shorted increasing to 75,713,616 as of August 31, 2026, representing a 12.74% month-over-month increase and a short percentage of float of 5.58%.
Recent insider activity has been predominantly negative, with Mary Beth Denooyer selling 12,000 shares on September 8, 2026, and Angela A Stephens selling 9,500 shares on September 3, 2026, reducing their respective positions by 12.48% and 14.55%.
Cost pressures are beginning to constrain profit growth, particularly in the international segment where sales growth is strong but margins are being squeezed by rising expenses.
The company's balance sheet shows a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.74 and a current ratio of 0.48, indicating a relatively high level of leverage and limited short-term liquidity to cover immediate obligations.
Some institutional investors are reducing their exposure, such as Waverly Advisors LLC, which lowered its stake by 83.4% in the second quarter, and the California State Teachers Retirement System, which trimmed its holdings by 5.4%.
