According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:LGEN is a Neutral.

Legal & General exhibits a mixed outlook. While the company faces significant financial challenges with declining revenues and cash flow issues, the technical analysis shows positive market momentum. The ongoing share buyback program and high dividend yield provide some support, but the high P/E ratio raises valuation concerns. Overall, the stock’s appeal is moderate, balanced by financial weaknesses and technical strengths.
