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

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.

Bear Case

Oppenheimer Asset Management Inc. recently reduced its holdings by 44%, which may signal concerns about the company's short-term performance.
The stock has a relatively high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 7.73, which could indicate that it is overvalued compared to its earnings potential.

Only 1.27% of the stock is owned by institutional investors, which may indicate a lack of confidence from larger investment firms.
