SSE - 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.

SSE
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in SSE plc:

Recent upgrade by Citigroup from a "strong sell" to a "hold" rating indicates improved investor sentiment and potential for stock price stabilization.
Current stock price is $19.18, which is relatively low compared to its one-year high of $27.01, suggesting potential for price appreciation.
Analyst upgrades, including UBS Group raising the rating to "strong-buy," reflect positive outlooks on the company's future performance.
Significant growth in short interest by 67.1% indicates increased investor interest, which could lead to higher demand and price increases in the future.
Consistent dividend payments, with a recent dividend of $0.2658 per share, provide a steady income stream for investors, enhancing the attractiveness of the stock.

SSE
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in SSE plc for these reasons:

Recent stock price decline of 1.9% suggests potential volatility and uncertainty in the market, which could deter risk-averse investors.
Current ratio of 0.92 indicates that the company may have liquidity issues, as it has less current assets than current liabilities, which could impact its ability to meet short-term obligations.
Debt-to-equity ratio of 0.64 shows that the company is using a significant amount of debt to finance its operations, which could pose risks if interest rates rise or if the company faces financial difficulties.
Recent cuts to dividends may signal financial strain or a shift in company strategy, which could lead to reduced investor confidence.
Average trading volume of 161,396 shares compared to recent trading volumes suggests lower liquidity, which could lead to larger price swings and increased risk for investors.
