Consensus Price Target

N/A

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.

Haleon
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Haleon plc:

  • The stock is currently trading at $9.19, which is significantly below the consensus price target of $13.40 established by analysts in May 2026, suggesting substantial upside potential for investors who believe the market is undervaluing the company's recovery.
  • Haleon has successfully negotiated better shelf space at major U.S. retailers like Walmart and Target, a strategic move designed to boost market share and visibility at a time when rising grocery bills are impacting consumer spending habits.
  • The company is actively managing its balance sheet by executing a cash tender offer to buy back approximately $2 billion of its 3.375% Fixed Rate Senior Notes due in 2027, which helps reduce future debt obligations and interest expenses.
  • Institutional confidence is growing, evidenced by the Public Employees Retirement System of Ohio establishing a new position of 773,503 shares valued at approximately $7.22 million in the second quarter of 2026.
  • Analyst sentiment has improved recently, with Zacks Research upgrading the stock from a "strong sell" to a "hold" rating in August 2026 and Jefferies raising its price target to 410p, citing margin strength and a 70 basis point beat in the first half of the year.

Haleon
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Haleon plc for these reasons:

  • The company recently reported a significant earnings miss in Q2 2026, with actual EPS of $0.136 falling well short of the consensus estimate of $0.2669, and revenue of $3.71 billion coming in at only half of the expected $7.43 billion.
  • Haleon has a relatively high debt-to-equity ratio of 0.38 and a current ratio of 0.69, indicating that its current liabilities exceed its current assets, which may limit its financial flexibility in a volatile economic environment.
  • The stock has experienced a decline in value, trading at $9.19 as of September 13, 2026, which is down from its 52-week high of $11.28 and below its 50-day simple moving average of $9.86.
  • Short interest has increased in recent months, with shares shorted rising to 15.37 million as of August 31, 2026, up from 13.30 million in the previous month, suggesting that a growing number of traders are betting against the stock's performance.
  • Some analysts remain skeptical about the company's valuation, with Seeking Alpha noting in August 2026 that while growth prospects are decent, the stock is still not a bargain, and Deutsche Bank has maintained a "sell" rating.
