SSE - 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. 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.

Should I Buy SSE Stock? SSEZY Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Thursday, January 23, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these SSE pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

SSE
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in SSE plc:

SSE plc recently announced a dividend of $0.2658 per share, which reflects the company's commitment to returning value to shareholders. Dividends are payments made to shareholders from a company's earnings, and a consistent dividend can indicate financial stability.
The stock price of SSE plc is currently around $20.06, which is near its 52-week low of $18.76. This could present a buying opportunity for investors looking for potential upside as the stock may rebound.
Barclays upgraded SSE plc to a "strong-buy" rating, suggesting that analysts see significant potential for growth in the company's stock price. Analyst ratings can influence investor sentiment and stock performance.
SSE plc has a solid financial position with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.68, indicating that the company is not overly reliant on debt to finance its operations. A lower ratio suggests a more stable financial structure, which can be attractive to investors.
The company operates in the energy sector, engaging in the generation, transmission, distribution, and supply of electricity, which is a critical and growing industry as demand for renewable energy sources increases.

SSE
Bear Case

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

Citigroup recently downgraded SSE plc from a "hold" rating to a "strong sell" rating, indicating a lack of confidence in the stock's performance. Such downgrades can lead to negative sentiment and further declines in stock price.
The stock has experienced volatility, recently trading down $0.13 to $19.93, which may concern investors looking for stable investments. Price fluctuations can indicate uncertainty in the market.
SSE plc's current ratio is 1.10, which is just above the threshold of 1.0. While this indicates that the company can cover its short-term liabilities, a low current ratio may raise concerns about liquidity in times of financial stress.
The company has reached a new 52-week low, which may signal underlying issues or a lack of investor confidence. New lows can deter potential investors who may fear further declines.
Recent market conditions and economic factors may impact the energy sector, including regulatory changes and competition, which could affect SSE plc's profitability and growth prospects.
