These changes reflect a split view, where some analysts see further room for Coca-Cola HBC to justify higher valuations, while others think the recent share price rally leaves a more balanced risk or reward profile.

What Wall Street Has Been Saying
🐂 Bullish Takeaways
-
Deutsche Bank has raised its Coca-Cola HBC price target twice in recent months, first to £55.50 and more recently to £57.00, while keeping a Buy rating. This indicates the firm still sees support for a higher valuation after the rally.
-
Citi lifted its Coca-Cola HBC target to £50.25 and kept a Neutral stance. The new level signals that the firm views current execution and growth prospects as broadly aligned with where the stock is trading.
🐻 Bearish Takeaways
-
BNP Paribas moved Coca-Cola HBC to Neutral from Outperform with a £50.00 target. The analyst cites a less compelling risk or reward profile after the recent share price move.
-
Together, the Neutral ratings from BNP Paribas and Citi highlight a more balanced view, where further upside is seen as more dependent on Coca-Cola HBC continuing to deliver on its plans rather than being assumed in advance.
