Givaudan - 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).

Givaudan
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Givaudan SA:

Givaudan SA recently declared a dividend of $1.5503 per share, which is a significant increase of 59.1% from the previous dividend of $0.97. This increase in dividends can indicate strong financial health and a commitment to returning value to shareholders.
The current stock price of Givaudan SA is $90.61, which is above its 50-day moving average of $87.33. This suggests positive momentum in the stock, as it is trading higher than its average price over the past 50 days.
Analyst upgrades have been noted, with Berenberg Bank recently upgrading Givaudan SA from a "hold" rating to a "strong-buy" rating. Such upgrades can lead to increased investor confidence and potentially higher stock prices.
The company operates in the fragrance, beauty, taste, and wellbeing sectors, which are experiencing growth due to rising consumer demand for these products. This diversification can help stabilize revenue streams.
Givaudan SA has a solid financial position, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.99, indicating that the company is not overly reliant on debt to finance its operations, which can be a positive sign for investors concerned about financial risk.

Givaudan
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Givaudan SA for these reasons:

Barclays recently downgraded Givaudan SA from a "hold" rating to a "strong sell" rating, which may indicate concerns about the company's future performance and could lead to a decrease in stock price.
The stock has shown volatility, with a recent trading down of 2.0%. Such fluctuations can be a concern for investors looking for stable investments.
Givaudan SA's 200-day moving average is $93.29, which is higher than the current stock price. This could suggest that the stock is underperforming compared to its longer-term trend, potentially signaling a bearish outlook.
Despite the recent dividend increase, the overall market conditions and economic factors could impact the company's ability to maintain or further increase dividends in the future.
The company operates in competitive markets, and any shifts in consumer preferences or economic downturns could adversely affect sales and profitability.
