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 has received a recent upgrade from Royal Bank of Canada, moving from a "sector perform" rating to an "outperform" rating, indicating analysts expect the stock to perform better than the market average.
The stock is currently priced at $78.71, which is above its 52-week low of $66.64, suggesting a potential for growth as it approaches its 52-week high of $99.65.
Analysts have given L'Oréal an average rating of "Hold," with one strong buy recommendation, indicating a generally positive outlook among experts.
Argus recently raised its rating on L'Oréal to "strong-buy," reflecting confidence in the company's future performance and potential for significant returns.
The company maintains a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.13, which suggests financial stability and less risk associated with debt, making it a safer investment option.

L'Oréal
Bear Case

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

Despite recent upgrades, two analysts still rate the stock as a sell, indicating some skepticism about its short-term performance.
The stock has experienced a decline of 1.2% recently, which may signal volatility and potential challenges in maintaining its value.
Trading volumes have been lower than average, with only 89,508 shares traded compared to an average of 252,204, suggesting reduced investor interest.
The company's quick ratio of 0.73 indicates that it may struggle to meet short-term liabilities, which could be a concern for liquidity.
With a current ratio of 1.01, L'Oréal is just above the threshold for covering its short-term obligations, which may raise concerns about its financial health in a downturn.
