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.

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. is currently trading at $32.88, which is below the average analyst price target of $34.94, suggesting potential upside as the stock trades at a P/E ratio of 15.52, a valuation metric that compares the share price to earnings per share and indicates the stock may be undervalued relative to its earnings power.
  • The company recently announced it will sell its minority stake in Chobani and a Pennsylvania manufacturing facility for $925 million in pre-tax proceeds, a move that provides immediate liquidity to support debt reduction and improves balance sheet flexibility following the JDE Peet's acquisition.
  • Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. reported second-quarter earnings of $0.57 per share, exceeding the consensus estimate of $0.54, while revenue reached $7.31 billion, surpassing the expected $7.23 billion, demonstrating strong operational performance and the ability to beat market expectations.
  • Wall Street analysts maintain a "Moderate Buy" consensus rating with an average price target of $34.94, reflecting constructive sentiment from 11 buy ratings and 8 hold ratings, which indicates professional confidence in the company's future growth trajectory.
  • The stock offers a dividend yield of 2.82%, providing a steady income stream for investors, while the company's low beta of 0.40 suggests it is less volatile than the broader market, making it a potentially stable holding during market fluctuations.

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 to 67,160,007 shares as of August 14, 2026, representing approximately 4.95% of the float, which indicates that a significant portion of investors are betting against the stock's price appreciation.
  • The company's current ratio is 0.48 and quick ratio is 0.28, both of which are below 1.0, suggesting that Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. may face challenges in meeting its short-term financial obligations with its available liquid assets.
  • Despite recent earnings beats, the company's net margin is 7.10% and return on equity is 10.80%, which may be considered modest for a consumer staples company, potentially limiting the upside potential for shareholders compared to higher-margin peers.
  • The planned business split into two public companies introduces execution risk and uncertainty, as the company must manage the complexities of separating its operations while maintaining its long-term commercial relationships and strategic focus.
  • Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.74, indicating a moderate level of leverage that could constrain financial flexibility and increase interest expenses, particularly if interest rates remain elevated or if the company faces unexpected operational challenges.
