Standard Chartered - 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.

The current stock price is $13.36, reflecting a recent increase of 0.4%, indicating positive market sentiment and potential for further growth.
Standard Chartered PLC has a market capitalization of approximately $32.79 billion, suggesting a stable and established presence in the banking sector.

Bear Case

The Goldman Sachs Group recently downgraded Standard Chartered PLC from a "strong-buy" to a "hold" rating, which may indicate a lack of confidence in the stock's short-term performance.
The company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.48, which suggests that it relies significantly on debt financing, potentially increasing financial risk during economic downturns.
Despite the recent stock price increase, the stock has a 1-year high of $14.38, indicating that it may be approaching its peak, which could limit future upside potential.
The quick ratio and current ratio are both at 0.84, suggesting that the company may have liquidity issues, which could affect its ability to meet short-term obligations.
