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.

Danone
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Danone S.A.:

  • Danone S.A. recently completed the acquisition of Huel, a leading provider of nutritionally balanced meal solutions, which expands the company's portfolio in functional nutrition and leverages Huel's direct-to-consumer capabilities alongside Danone's global scale.
  • The company demonstrated strong operational resilience in the second quarter of 2026, with global sales growing 4.2% on a like-for-like basis, driven by demand in Asia and a recovery in its specialized nutrition unit following earlier supply disruptions.
  • Danone S.A. has successfully formed a joint venture with Argentine food group Arcor to unlock new dairy opportunities in Argentina, combining Danone's thirty-year presence in the region with Arcor's deep heritage in the local dairy market.
  • Investors can benefit from a dividend yield of 2.57%, providing a steady income stream, while the stock's low beta of 0.18 suggests it may offer lower volatility compared to the broader market.
  • The stock is currently trading at $14.19, which is at its 52-week low, potentially presenting a value entry point for investors given the company's recent strategic expansions and sales growth.

Danone
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Danone S.A. for these reasons:

  • The stock price has fallen below its 50-day moving average, a technical indicator that often signals a downward trend, and the current price of $14.19 represents a significant drop from the 52-week high of $18.63.
  • Analyst sentiment has shifted negatively, with the consensus rating downgraded to "Hold" in September 2026, and specific firms like Jefferies maintaining a "Sell" rating due to concerns over profit quality and margin downgrades.
  • Short interest in the stock increased significantly in August 2026, with shares shorted rising to 120,225, indicating that a portion of the market is betting on a further decline in the stock price.
  • The company faces ongoing challenges in its specialized nutrition segment, which was previously impacted by a recall of European baby formula products and supply disruptions related to geopolitical conflicts, posing risks to future revenue stability.
  • Danone S.A. has a low overall analysis score of 1, with a valuation score of 1 and a sustainability score of 0, suggesting that the current financial metrics and long-term outlook may not be attractive to fundamental investors.
