Consensus Price Target

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.

CSL
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in CSL Limited:

  • CSL Limited has recently announced a strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services to leverage artificial intelligence and cloud technology across its research and clinical development pipeline, a move that could significantly accelerate the company's biopharmaceutical R&D capabilities and enhance its competitive positioning in the global healthcare market.
  • The company's CSL Seqirus segment recently secured a strengthened vaccine partnership with the UK Government, which includes the introduction of the world-first aTIVc influenza vaccine and an extended health security pandemic agreement, providing a stable and long-term revenue stream from government contracts and highlighting the segment's leadership in pandemic preparedness.
  • CSL Limited has demonstrated strong recent price momentum, with the stock trading at $31.91 as of September 29, 2026, representing a significant recovery from its 52-week low of $16.01 and approaching its 52-week high of $36.29, indicating strong investor confidence and potential for further upside as the stock continues its upward trend.
  • Recent analyst actions reflect growing institutional confidence, including an upgrade from Royal Bank of Canada from "hold" to "moderate buy" and a positive report from Ord Minnett, suggesting that the market is beginning to recognize the company's value and potential for growth following its recent earnings report.
  • CSL Limited offers a dividend yield of 2.40%, providing investors with a steady income stream while they hold the stock, which is particularly attractive for income-focused investors seeking exposure to the biotechnology sector with a lower beta of 0.61, indicating less volatility compared to the broader market.

CSL
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in CSL Limited for these reasons:

  • CSL Limited recently reported a 2% decline in annual profit, driven by declining revenue in its core plasma division (CSL Behring), which is a primary revenue driver for the company, raising concerns about the sustainability of its top-line growth and profitability in its most established business segment.
  • The company has agreed to lower prices in a sweeping deal with the Trump administration, which could compress margins and reduce revenue from its US operations, a significant market for biopharmaceuticals, potentially impacting overall earnings and shareholder returns in the near term.
  • Despite recent positive news, the stock has experienced significant volatility, including a gap down of 1.41% on September 23, 2026, and a gap down of 1.47% on September 8, 2026, suggesting that the market remains cautious and that the stock may be susceptible to sharp declines in response to negative news or broader market sentiment.
  • CSL Limited's P/E ratio is listed as 0.00, which may indicate that the company is not currently profitable on a trailing basis or that there are accounting adjustments affecting earnings, making it difficult for investors to assess the stock's valuation based on traditional earnings multiples and potentially signaling underlying financial challenges.
  • The company's short interest, while decreasing, remains at 186,969 shares as of September 15, 2026, with a days-to-cover ratio of 0.86, indicating that a portion of the market still holds a bearish view on the stock, which could lead to potential short squeezes or continued selling pressure if negative news emerges.
