ING Groep - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

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.

ING Groep
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in ING Groep for these reasons:

Despite the recent dividend increase, the company's dividend payout ratio is 60.75%, which may raise concerns about sustainability if earnings do not grow as expected.
ING Groep reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.39, missing the consensus estimate, which could indicate challenges in meeting market expectations.
The company has a relatively high debt-to-equity ratio of 2.89, suggesting that it relies heavily on debt financing, which can increase financial risk, especially in volatile markets.
