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.

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

  • Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. recently reported third-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $0.66, which exceeded the analyst consensus estimate of $0.62, demonstrating strong profitability that supports the current stock price of $36.79.
  • Major financial institutions including UBS Group, JPMorgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley have recently raised their price targets for the stock to $42.00, $41.00, and $40.00 respectively, indicating significant institutional confidence in the company's future performance.
  • The company's energy drink market share has surpassed 10% following recent brand acquisitions, providing a new and robust growth engine that diversifies revenue beyond traditional coffee and soft drinks.
  • Revenue for the most recent quarter reached $7.34 billion, a 70.6% increase year-over-year, driven largely by the JDE Peet's acquisition and strong performance in the U.S. Refreshment Beverages segment.

Keurig Dr Pepper
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • The company has warned that U.S. coffee profitability may slow in the fourth quarter as consumers trade down to cheaper alternatives, posing a near-term headwind to earnings growth.
  • TD Cowen maintains a "hold" rating with a price target of $35.00, which is below the current stock price of $36.79, suggesting that some analysts believe the stock is currently overvalued relative to its fundamentals.
  • Insider selling activity has been observed recently, with Mary Beth Denooyer selling 12,000 shares and Angela A Stephens selling 9,500 shares, which may signal a lack of confidence from company insiders.
  • The company's current ratio of 0.48 and quick ratio of 0.28 indicate that it has limited liquid assets to cover its short-term liabilities, which could pose financial risks if cash flow tightens.
  • Short interest has increased to 84,051,147 shares, representing a 14.28% month-over-month increase, suggesting that a significant portion of the market is betting against the stock's price appreciation.
