NatWest Group - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

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.

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.

NatWest Group
Bull Case

Recent analyst upgrades have improved the stock's outlook, with multiple firms raising their ratings to "buy" or "moderate buy," indicating positive sentiment among financial experts.
The current stock price is $10.00, reflecting a significant increase from its fifty-two week low of $5.16, showcasing strong recovery and growth potential.
NatWest Group plc has a solid market capitalization of approximately $40.14 billion, which suggests stability and the ability to weather market fluctuations.
The company has a low P/E ratio of 7.56, indicating that the stock may be undervalued compared to its earnings, which could attract value investors looking for bargains.
Institutional interest is growing, with several hedge funds increasing their stakes significantly, suggesting confidence in the company's future performance.

NatWest Group
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in NatWest Group plc for these reasons:

The stock recently gapped down, opening at $10.11 after closing at $10.37, which may indicate volatility and potential short-term challenges.
Despite recent upgrades, the stock has experienced a decline of 3.8%, which could signal underlying issues that investors should be cautious about.
The company's beta of 1.31 suggests that it is more volatile than the market, which could lead to larger price swings and increased risk for investors.
With a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.17, while low, it may indicate that the company is not leveraging debt effectively to fuel growth, which could limit expansion opportunities.
Only 1.27% of the stock is owned by institutional investors, which may suggest a lack of confidence from larger investment firms in the company's long-term prospects.
