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 Group
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in ING Groep:

ING Groep recently announced it will redeem $1.5 billion of perpetual additional tier 1 capital securities, a move that signals strong capital management and financial health to the market.
The stock is trading at $36.43, which is near its 52-week high of $37.52, reflecting strong recent momentum and a significant rise from its 52-week low of $23.64.
ING Groep reported second-quarter 2026 earnings of $0.79 per share, beating analyst estimates of $0.75, and posted a net margin of 28.15% with a return on equity of 12.59%.
Analysts have recently upgraded the stock, with Morgan Stanley raising its rating to "overweight" and Zacks Research moving it to "hold," contributing to a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy."
The company offers a dividend yield of 2.12%, providing income to investors, with a recent dividend payment of $0.458 per share made in August 2026.

ING Group
Bear Case

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

Short interest in ING Groep increased by 63.1% in August 2026, with 1,943,040 shares shorted, indicating that some investors are betting against the stock's future performance.
Australia's prudential regulator raised capital requirements for ING's local unit after the bank overstated its liquidity position and breached minimum requirements, posing a regulatory risk.
ING Groep's revenue of $4.76 billion in the second quarter of 2026 fell significantly short of analyst estimates of $6.99 billion, suggesting potential challenges in meeting revenue targets.
The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.99, which is relatively high and could indicate a higher level of financial leverage and risk.
Some institutional investors, such as WINTON GROUP Ltd, have reduced their holdings in ING Groep, with WINTON GROUP selling 94,300 shares in the second quarter of 2026.
