Croda stock (ISIN GB00BJFFLV09) was trading at GBp 3,235.00 on the London Stock Exchange on September 28, 2026, down 0.03 percent from the prior close of GBp 3,236.00. The key valuation signal is Jefferies' GBp 4,000.00 price target, which MarketBeat reported on September 25, 2026.

Jefferies keeps a 4,000p target

According to MarketBeat on September 25, 2026, Jefferies reaffirmed a Buy rating and set a GBp 4,000.00 target for Croda. The report said that target represented 23.61 percent potential upside from the previous close, giving the analyst view a clear premium to the quoted share price.

MarketBeat also reported a consensus rating of Moderate Buy and an average target of GBp 3,490.00. That average is above the September 28 price of GBp 3,235.00, although the range of published targets extends from GBp 3,200.00 to GBp 4,000.00.

Stock sits below its yearly high

Croda's September 28 trading range ran from GBp 3,194.00 to GBp 3,252.00, with volume at 17,261 shares at the 9:28 a.m. BST snapshot. The share price was 8.10 percent below its 52-week high of GBp 3,520.24 and 30.04 percent above its 52-week low of GBp 2,488.00.

The valuation debate therefore rests on a gap between the market quotation and analyst expectations rather than on a one-day price move. Croda describes its business as supplying innovative ingredients for consumer care, agriculture and pharmaceutical markets, with products used at low inclusion levels but tied to customer product performance, according to its Croda investor overview.

Market value remains GBP 4.5 billion

Croda had a market capitalization of GBP 4.5 billion as of September 28, 2026. The LSE quote, the GBp 3,235.00 price and the 52-week range frame the stock's current position while the GBp 4,000.00 Jefferies target provides the principal upside reference in the latest analyst coverage.
