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 secured U.K. competition clearance for its $1.2 billion acquisition of Huel, a move that expands its portfolio into the high-growth health and nutrition sector and signals strong strategic momentum for future revenue diversification.
  • The company demonstrated robust financial health in its first half of 2026, reporting like-for-like sales growth of 3.5% and a recurring operating margin of 13.3%, which indicates effective cost management and strong demand for its health-focused products despite inflationary pressures.
  • Danone S.A. offers a stable income stream with a dividend yield of 2.45%, providing investors with a consistent return on investment that is attractive for long-term holders seeking regular cash flow from a global consumer staple brand.
  • The stock is currently trading at $14.86, which is near its 52-week low of $14.19, potentially presenting a value entry point for investors who believe the market has overreacted to recent challenges and that the company's fundamental recovery is underway.
  • Danone S.A. is executing strategic market expansions, such as the completed joint venture with Arcor in Argentina, which leverages local heritage and logistics to unlock new dairy opportunities and strengthen its market reach in Latin America.

Danone
Bear Case

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

  • Analyst sentiment has turned cautious, with Jefferies maintaining a Sell rating and a price target of €62.00, citing concerns about profit quality and margin downgrades that suggest the company may face ongoing pressure on its bottom line.
  • The company is dealing with operational headwinds in its specialized nutrition unit, which was impacted by a recall of European baby formula products and supply disruptions related to geopolitical conflicts, creating uncertainty in a key revenue segment.
  • Danone S.A. is experiencing weakness in its U.S. dairy business, a significant market for the company, which could limit its ability to drive growth in North America and affect overall global sales targets.
  • The stock has shown a downward trend recently, crossing below its 50-day moving average in June 2026 and hitting 52-week lows in May, indicating persistent selling pressure and a lack of immediate bullish momentum in the market.
