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
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • Short interest in the stock has risen significantly, with shares shorted increasing to approximately 78.97 million as of the most recent record date, representing a short percentage of float of about 5.82%, which suggests a growing number of traders are betting against the stock's performance.
  • Recent insider activity has been predominantly negative, with executives such as Mary Beth Denooyer and Angela A Stephens selling thousands of shares in September 2026, which may signal a lack of confidence in the stock's near-term appreciation from those closest to the company.
  • The company's balance sheet shows a current ratio of 0.48 and a quick ratio of 0.28, indicating that its current liabilities exceed its current assets, which could pose liquidity challenges in the short term despite its strong revenue growth.
  • Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. is currently trading at $30.88, which is below the 50-day moving average of $31.17, suggesting that recent momentum has been weak and the stock may be facing downward pressure in the near term.
  • Some analysts, including Weiss Ratings, have reiterated a Hold rating on the stock, and the consensus rating has fluctuated between Hold and Moderate Buy in recent months, reflecting uncertainty about the company's valuation and growth trajectory.
