Nestlé India's stock continued its upward trend on June 27, buoyed by investor enthusiasm following the company's first-ever bonus share announcement. Outgoing CMD Suresh Narayanan reflected on the company’s journey and challenges, while outlining cautious optimism for the future.
On June 26, the FMCG major announced that its board had approved a 1:1 bonus share issuance, meaning shareholders will receive one bonus equity share for every fully paid-up equity share they hold.
Each share carries a face value of ₹1. This landmark decision is seen as a sign of confidence in the company's growth trajectory and a reward to long-term shareholders.
The company has stated that the record date for determining shareholder eligibility to receive the bonus equity shares will be announced in due course.
As the company undergoes a leadership transition, Suresh Narayanan, who has served as Chairman and Managing Director since 2015, passed the baton to Manish Tiwary, a senior executive from Amazon.
Narayanan, widely credited with reviving Maggi noodles after a nationwide ban, noted that the business had faced headwinds from commodity inflation, which had impacted volume growth in recent quarters. However, he added that input costs are beginning to stabilise, paving the way for normalised operations in the coming months, as per news reports.
As of 09:46 AM on June 27, 2025, Nestlé India’s stock continued its upward momentum, opening at ₹2,453.95, slightly above its previous close of ₹2,429.80. During the session, the stock touched a high of ₹2,453.95 and a low of ₹2,426.05. The stock gained close to 3% in the last 3 trading sessions.
The stock remains well within its 52-week range, having previously peaked at ₹2,777.00 and bottomed at ₹2,115. While no fixed price band has been applied, indicative upper and lower thresholds stand at ₹2,672.75 and ₹2,186.85, respectively.
