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.

Safran
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Safran SA:

  • Safran SA recently raised its full-year financial guidance following record first-half margins, driven by stronger-than-expected demand for LEAP civil aircraft engines and spare parts, which signals robust operational performance and revenue growth potential.
  • The company received a credit rating upgrade from S&P, which supports its financial stability and lowers borrowing costs, while the stock currently trades at $96.53, reflecting investor confidence in its recent strong H1 2026 figures and buyback progress.
  • Analyst consensus remains positive with a Moderate Buy rating, supported by recent Buy recommendations from major institutions like J.P. Morgan, Barclays, and Deutsche Bank, indicating strong institutional backing for the stock's future trajectory.
  • Safran SA is expanding its global maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capabilities, including a $22 million investment in an expanded Singapore MRO center, which positions the company to capture growing aftermarket service revenue streams.
  • The company is diversifying into emerging technologies by advancing hybrid-electric propulsion systems, including a production agreement with Electra for 250 turbogenerators and a propulsion agreement with Aura Aero, securing a foothold in the next generation of sustainable aviation.

Safran
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Safran Sa for these reasons:

  • Strategic partnerships face uncertainty as MTU Aero Engines warned that diverging French and German fighter aircraft requirements could threaten the engine partnership following the collapse of the Future Combat Air System (FCAS) program, posing a risk to defense segment revenues.
  • Short interest in the stock has been volatile, with a significant 82.7% increase in July 2026 to 187,756 shares, suggesting that some market participants are betting against the stock's performance despite recent positive news.
  • The company exited negotiations to acquire a controlling stake in underwater drone technology firm Exail, which was subsequently acquired by competitor Thales, indicating a missed opportunity to expand its defense and security systems portfolio.
  • Recent price action shows volatility, including a gap down of 3.54% in April 2026 and a cross below the 200-day moving average in June 2026, reflecting periods of investor uncertainty and potential downward pressure on the share price.
  • Some analysts, such as DZ Bank AG and Jefferies, have downgraded or maintained Hold ratings, citing concerns that may offset the bullish sentiment from other institutions, creating a mixed outlook for the stock's near-term performance.
