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.

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.

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

  • SSE plc has a strong position in the utilities sector, engaging in the generation and distribution of electricity, which is a fundamental service with consistent demand.
  • The company has diversified its energy generation sources, including water, gas, coal, oil, and multi-fuel, which can help mitigate risks associated with reliance on a single energy source.
  • As of December 2024, SSE plc's stock price reflects a positive trend, indicating investor confidence and potential for capital appreciation.
  • SSE plc is actively involved in renewable energy projects, aligning with global trends towards sustainability and potentially benefiting from government incentives and consumer preferences for green energy.

SSE
Bear Case

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

  • Regulatory changes in the utilities sector can impact profitability, as companies like SSE plc must comply with evolving environmental and energy policies.
  • Fluctuations in energy prices can affect revenue, particularly if the costs of generating electricity from traditional sources rise significantly.
  • Competition in the energy market is increasing, with new entrants focusing on renewable energy, which could pressure SSE plc's market share and margins.
  • Investments in infrastructure and renewable energy projects require significant capital, which could strain financial resources or lead to increased debt levels.
  • Market volatility can affect stock performance, and as a utility company, SSE plc may not provide the same growth potential as other sectors, making it less attractive for growth-focused investors.
