L'Oréal - 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.

L'Oréal
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in L'Oréal:

L'Oréal's stock recently crossed above its 50-day moving average, indicating a potential upward trend in its price, which can be a positive signal for investors looking for growth opportunities.
The current stock price is $74.03, which reflects a recent increase and may suggest a favorable entry point for new investors.
Short interest in L'Oréal has decreased by 15.1% in January, indicating a reduction in bearish sentiment among investors, which can be a positive sign for future price stability.
The company maintains a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.13, suggesting strong financial health and lower risk, making it an attractive option for risk-averse investors.
Analysts have a consensus rating of "Hold," with some maintaining a buy rating, indicating that there is still potential for growth and stability in the stock.

L'Oréal
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in L'Oréal for these reasons:

Recent downgrades from analysts, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and DZ Bank, suggest that some experts are cautious about the stock's performance, which could indicate potential challenges ahead.
The stock has experienced volatility, with a 50-day moving average of $70.51, which may concern investors looking for stable investments.
Despite a recent increase in stock price, L'Oréal's 200-day moving average is significantly higher at $78.09, indicating that the stock may still be undervalued compared to its longer-term performance.
Two analysts have rated the stock with a sell rating, which could signal potential risks and a lack of confidence in the stock's future performance.
The company's quick ratio of 0.73 suggests that it may face challenges in meeting short-term obligations, which could be a red flag for investors focused on liquidity.
