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.

Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Legal & General Group Plc:

  • Legal & General Group Plc recently reported a 7% increase in core operating profit to £918 million for the first half of 2026, which exceeded analyst expectations and signaled strong performance in its asset management business.
  • The company offers a high dividend yield of 4.02%, providing a steady income stream for investors who prioritize regular cash flow over capital appreciation.
  • Legal & General Group Plc is currently trading at $19.67, which is below its 52-week high of $21.60, potentially offering a more attractive entry point for investors looking to capitalize on recent volatility.
  • The stock has demonstrated resilience in the market, as evidenced by its ability to maintain a beta of 0.91, indicating it moves slightly less than the overall market and may offer a degree of stability during periods of economic uncertainty.

Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Legal & General Group Plc for these reasons:

  • Legal & General Group Plc has faced a series of downgrades from major financial institutions, including RBC Capital Markets, UBS, and Goldman Sachs, which have cited concerns about the company's earnings quality and strategic direction.
  • The company's dividend yield, while high, has been a point of contention among analysts, with some warning that the sustainability of the payout may be at risk due to underlying financial pressures and competition in the bulk annuity market.
  • Legal & General Group Plc has experienced a significant increase in short interest, with the number of shares shorted rising to 327,163 as of August 2026, indicating that a growing number of investors are betting against the stock's future performance.
  • The company's core operating profit forecasts have been cut by RBC Capital Markets across all three of its main business divisions, with the sharpest downgrade in asset management, where estimates are cut by 13% for 2026, reflecting heightened competition and solvency concerns.
  • Legal & General Group Plc's shares have been trading below their 52-week high, and the company's recent performance has been mixed, with some analysts suggesting that the stock is close to fully valued at current levels, leaving limited upside potential for investors.
