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.

SSE
Bull Case

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

SSE plc is focused on regulated electricity networks and renewable energy, positioning itself well in the growing market for sustainable energy solutions, which is increasingly important as the world transitions to net zero.
The company has a strong strategy aimed at creating value for shareholders and society, which may lead to long-term growth and stability in stock performance.
Recent announcements indicate that SSE plc has awarded shares to directors and executives, suggesting confidence in the company's future performance and aligning management's interests with those of shareholders.
The current stock price reflects SSE plc's commitment to sustainable practices and could attract socially responsible investors looking for companies that prioritize environmental impact.
As an integrated energy group, SSE plc benefits from diverse revenue streams, which can provide a buffer against market volatility in any single sector.

SSE
Bear Case

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

As the energy sector faces regulatory changes and potential challenges in meeting net zero targets, SSE plc may encounter operational hurdles that could impact profitability.
Investments in renewable energy infrastructure can be capital-intensive, which may lead to increased debt levels and financial risk if not managed properly.
Market competition in the utilities sector is intensifying, which could pressure SSE plc's market share and pricing power.
Fluctuations in energy prices can affect revenue stability, and any downturn in the market could negatively impact SSE plc's financial performance.
Recent share awards to executives, while a sign of confidence, may also raise concerns about excessive compensation in a challenging economic environment.
