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.

Parker-Hannifin
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Parker-Hannifin Co. for these reasons:

  • The stock is trading at a premium valuation with a P/E ratio of 33.64, which is higher than the market average and may limit future upside if earnings growth does not accelerate to justify the price.
  • Recent insider activity has been predominantly negative, with Vice President Berend Bracht selling 602 shares in late August and other executives like the CFO and COO selling significant blocks of stock in early 2026, which can signal a lack of internal confidence.
  • The company recently completed a large multi-currency debt financing of $2.4 billion, which increases its leverage and could impact its financial flexibility or interest expense in the coming periods.
  • Some institutional investors have reduced their exposure to the stock, with funds like Engineers Gate Manager LP and C WorldWide Group Holding A S cutting their positions by 27.5% and 20.4% respectively during the second quarter.
  • The stock has experienced volatility and recently traded below its 50-day moving average of $986.89, suggesting short-term momentum may be weakening despite the long-term bullish consensus.
