CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL
(https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-
csl/)) stock had an underwhelming
year in 2024.
:
During the 12 months, the
biotechnology giant's shares traded
relatively pat and underperformed the
market.
While this is disappointing, has it
created a buying opportunity for
investors in 2025? Let's qnd out.
CSL stock: Buy, hold,
or sell in 2025?
The good news is that almost all the
major brokers currently have the
equivalent of buy ratings on CSL's
shares at the start of 2025.
The even better news is that the
general consensus is that CSL stock
could generate big returns over the
next 12 months.
Let's look at what a few brokers are
saying about the plasma therapies
leader.
Over at Morgans, its analysts have an
add rating and $330.75 price target
on the company's shares. This
implies potential upside of almost
15% for investors from current levels.
The broker recently named CSL as
one of its Best Calls to Action. It notes
that these are "stocks that present
compelling buying prospects right
now."
Elsewhere, analysts at Macquarie
have an outperform rating and
$334.00 price target on CSL stock.
This suggests that upside of
approximately 16% is possible over
the next 12 months.
In addition, the broker has previously
stated its belief that CSL's shares
could hit $500 within three years.
This is based on its forecast for
strong double-digit earnings growth
for the foreseeable future thanks to
the CSL Behring plasma business.
What else?
:
UBS is also bullish on CSL and has a
buy rating and $330.00 price target
on its shares, and Jarden has an
overweight rating and $329.62 price
target on them.
But the most bullish broker is
arguably Bell Potter, which has a buy
rating and $345.00 price target. This
implies potential upside of almost
20% for investors in 2025.
Commenting on its buy rating, the
broker said:
We expect CSL will achieve
guidance of "annual double-digit
earnings growth" over the mid-term
driven largely by the legacy plasma
business, Behring, particularly its
immunoglobulin sales. While CSL's
Seqirus and Vifor business units do
face near-term headwinds
(reduced pu market demand and
generic iron competition), these
two units combined only contribute
less than a third of total earnings.
CSL continues to be a high quality,
global operator with a multi-year
gross margin recovery well
underway to drive earnings
expansion. The stock is currently
trading at a 12m forward PE 27%
and 19% below 5- and 10-year
averages, respectively.
Overall, this could make the biotech
giant one to consider this year.
