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.

Atlas Copco
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Atlas Copco AB for these reasons:

  • Atlas Copco AB reported Q2 2026 earnings per share of $0.15, which missed the analyst consensus estimate of $0.16, suggesting that profitability may be under pressure despite revenue growth.
  • The company has a price-to-earnings ratio of 36.37, which is relatively high and may indicate that the stock is overvalued compared to its current earnings, posing a risk if growth slows down.
  • Two analysts have issued sell recommendations and two have issued hold recommendations, reflecting a divided opinion among investors and potential uncertainty about the company's future direction.
  • The stock has a beta of 1.41, which is higher than the market average, meaning it is more volatile and may experience larger price swings in response to market movements, increasing investment risk.
  • Atlas Copco AB has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.25 and a quick ratio of 0.87, which, while manageable, indicates that the company has some leverage and may face liquidity challenges if cash flow tightens.
