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.

Lonza Group
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Lonza Group AG:

  • Lonza Group AG is currently trading at $81.00, which is near its 52-week high of $82.63, indicating strong recent momentum and investor confidence in the company's trajectory.
  • The company recently announced that Merck is exiting its U.S. CDMO operations in a sale to Lonza, a significant strategic acquisition that expands Lonza's market share and capabilities in the contract development and manufacturing organization sector.
  • Lonza Group AG demonstrated strong financial performance in the first half of 2026, achieving 16% sales growth and a 44% increase in net profit, while expanding its EBITDA margin to 34.8% due to higher asset utilization and segment outperformance.
  • Management has raised its 2026 CORE EBITDA margin outlook to 33-34% while maintaining guidance for 11-12% sales growth, signaling continued operational efficiency and revenue expansion for the coming year.
  • Short interest in Lonza Group AG shares dropped significantly in September 2026, falling 64.1% from the previous month, which suggests that bearish sentiment is fading and potential short covering could drive further price appreciation.

Lonza Group
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Lonza Group AG for these reasons:

  • The stock price of $81.00 is very close to the 52-week high of $82.63, which may limit near-term upside potential and increase the risk of a pullback if the market becomes saturated with positive news.
  • Lonza Group AG experienced a significant drop in short interest in September 2026, but prior to that, short interest had fluctuated wildly, including a 281.6% increase in June 2026, indicating that the stock remains subject to high volatility and speculative trading activity.
  • The company's P/E ratio is listed as 0.00 in the current data, which may indicate that the stock is not currently profitable on a trailing basis or that the data is not reflective of the company's true earnings power, making valuation difficult for investors.
  • Lonza Group AG is an OTC-listed stock (LZAGY), which may result in lower liquidity and wider bid-ask spreads compared to stocks listed on major exchanges, potentially making it harder for investors to enter or exit positions at desired prices.
  • The company's dividend yield is only 0.18%, which is very low and may not be attractive to income-focused investors who are looking for a steady stream of dividend income from their investments.
