What Are the Brokerages Saying About This Situation?

One of India’s leading brokerage firms, YES Securities, has maintained a positive stance on this stock. The reason is a strong Q3 performance.

In its official statement related to this matter, the firm stated that this quarter is a testament to Nestlé’s potential. It also shows this FMCG firm’s margin resilience as it delivered 8% volume growth in spite of the inflation and rural headwinds. Moreover, the growth has remained resilient owing to 20% to 25% salience in India’s rural markets and the distribution in rural as well as semi-urban markets. This is driving the category penetration.

Moreover, this brokerage firm is expecting 12% to 14% revenue or PAT CAGR during CY 2022-2023.

India’s prominent financial brokerage service, Motilal Oswal, maintains a neutral stance on this stock.

The fourth-quarter sales of Nestlé India are in line with their estimation. The volume growth of the 2021 calendar year has been impressive at 9.6%. However, its segmental performance has remained mixed.

This brokerage firm maintains a long-term investment case for Nestlé India, primarily driven by its high topline growth. However, its commodity cost and expensive valuations lead to this neutral stance.
