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.

State Street
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in State Street Co.:

  • State Street Co. recently demonstrated strong financial performance by beating analyst expectations in its most recent earnings report, delivering earnings per share of $3.65 against a consensus estimate of $3.34, while also exceeding revenue forecasts with $4.05 billion in sales compared to the expected $3.88 billion, indicating robust operational execution and demand for its services.
  • The company has strengthened its appeal to income-focused investors by increasing its quarterly dividend to $0.92 per share, which represents a significant rise from the previous $0.84 payout and offers an attractive annualized yield of approximately 2.0%, supported by a sustainable dividend payout ratio of 32.45%.
  • Wall Street analysts have shown increasing confidence in the stock's potential, with the consensus price target rising to $185.38 and major firms like Wells Fargo and Citigroup raising their individual targets to $215.00 and $210.00 respectively, reflecting a positive outlook on the company's future growth trajectory.
  • State Street Co. continues to expand its product offerings and asset base, recently launching three new ETFs and expanding its MyIncome suite as assets under management surpassed $1 billion, signaling successful innovation and diversification in its investment management business.
  • The stock has shown strong momentum, reaching a fifty-two-week high of $195.93 in August 2026, which suggests that market participants are increasingly valuing the company's stability and growth prospects in the current financial environment.

State Street
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in State Street Co. for these reasons:

  • There is a notable pattern of insider selling among top executives, with the CEO and several EVPs selling significant blocks of shares in mid-2026, such as the CEO selling 14,553 shares in July, which may signal that company leadership is taking advantage of the recent stock price appreciation to reduce their personal exposure.
  • The current stock price of $174.55 is trading below the consensus analyst price target of $185.38, but it is also below the recent fifty-two-week high of $195.93, suggesting that the stock may be experiencing a pullback or that the market is pricing in some uncertainty despite the positive analyst ratings.
  • State Street Co. carries a beta of 1.41, which indicates that the stock is more volatile than the overall market, meaning investors may experience larger price swings in both directions compared to the broader market index, potentially increasing risk for conservative portfolios.
  • The company's debt-to-equity ratio stands at 1.04, which, while not excessive, indicates a moderate level of leverage that could impact financial flexibility or interest expense coverage if economic conditions tighten or interest rates remain elevated.
  • Short interest in the stock has fluctuated, with recent data showing approximately 5.25 million shares shorted as of September 2026, which, while a small percentage of the float, indicates that some market participants are betting against the stock's performance, potentially creating downward pressure on the price.
