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.

Investors should be bearish about investing in Shell for these reasons:

  • Shell's revenue for the latest quarter was $66.44 billion, falling short of the consensus estimate of $69.31 billion, which may raise concerns about future growth.
  • The company has a net margin of 4.93%, which, while positive, may indicate lower profitability compared to industry peers.
  • Shell's dividend payout ratio is currently at 64.41%, suggesting that a significant portion of earnings is being distributed as dividends, which could limit reinvestment in growth opportunities.
  • Recent downgrades from analysts, including a shift to a "neutral" rating, may signal caution regarding Shell's future performance and market conditions.
  • The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.36, while manageable, indicates reliance on debt financing, which could pose risks in a rising interest rate environment.
