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.

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 to reach more consumers with sustainable food options.

  • Danone S.A. has reaffirmed its 2026 growth targets and confirmed that its full-year guidance is aligned with its mid-term ambitions, signaling confidence in its strategic direction and portfolio shifts that are boosting global momentum.
  • The stock currently trades at $12.92, which is near its 52-week low of $12.83, potentially offering a valuation entry point for investors interested in the company's long-term fundamentals despite recent price declines.

Bear Case

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

  • The stock has experienced a significant decline, trading at $12.92 as of October 5, 2026, which is down from a previous close of $13.27 and well below its 52-week high of $18.63, reflecting sustained downward pressure on the share price.
  • Danone S.A. issued a recall for So Delicious Frozen Dessert Pints in September 2026 due to a risk of foreign material, which poses a potential reputational risk and operational cost for the company's plant-based product line.
