Basf - 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.

Basf
Bull Case

Recent analyst upgrades indicate positive sentiment, with Jefferies Financial Group and Goldman Sachs both upgrading their ratings to "buy," suggesting strong future performance.
The current stock price is $12.51, which is near the lower end of its 52-week range ($10.57 - $14.89), potentially offering a buying opportunity for investors looking for value.
Basf Se has a solid market capitalization of approximately $44.66 billion, indicating a stable and established company in the chemical industry.

With a diverse operational structure across six segments, including Chemicals and Agricultural Solutions, Basf Se is well-positioned to capitalize on various market demands and trends.

Basf
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Basf Se for these reasons:

The stock has a relatively high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 78.19, which may indicate that it is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially leading to a price correction.
Recent downgrades from Berenberg Bank from a "buy" to a "hold" rating may signal a lack of confidence in the stock's short-term performance.
Despite a strong market cap, the company has a P/E/G ratio of 2.41, which suggests that its growth may not justify its current valuation, raising concerns for growth-oriented investors.
Short interest in the stock has seen fluctuations, with a notable decline recently, which could indicate a lack of investor confidence or interest in shorting the stock.
The stock's beta of 1.19 indicates it is more volatile than the market, which could pose risks for investors seeking stability in their portfolios.
