Nestlé India, a leading FMCG company, announced a ₹14.25 dividend per share with the ex-date set for February 7, 2025. The dividend payout announcement was made on January 25, 2025.
Nestle India has a long history of consistently rewarding its shareholders through dividend payouts, demonstrating its commitment to delivering value. The company has regularly declared both interim and final dividends, reflecting its strong financial position.
Recent dividend announcements include ₹140 in October 2023, ₹75 in February 2023, and ₹27 in April 2023. Earlier, the company also declared interim dividends of ₹120 in October 2022 and ₹25 in March 2022.
These payouts showcase Nestlé India’s ability to maintain a robust dividend policy over the years, further strengthening its reputation as a reliable and profitable FMCG company. The upcoming dividend highlights the company’s continued commitment to shareholder returns.
Nestle India reported a 4.9% year-on-year increase in net profit for Q3 FY25, reaching ₹688 crore, up from ₹655.6 crore in the same period last year. The growth was primarily driven by a strong double-digit performance in the beverages segment, particularly Nescafé, which helped the company surpass ₹2,000 crore in retail sales over the past 12 months.
Despite this, the company noted that the demand environment remains challenging, marked by food inflation and slower urban consumption, though rural consumption is gradually recovering. Net sales for the quarter rose 3.9% to ₹4,779.7 crore, while profit before interest, depreciation, and tax (PBIDT) fell by 3.9% to ₹1,081.6 crore.
The company highlighted a strong performance in its out-of-home business and e-commerce, which saw high double-digit growth, contributing 9.1% to domestic sales. Nestlé India’s continued expansion efforts, such as the new confectionery unit in Gujarat, are in line with its ₹5,800 crore capital expenditure target for 2020-2025.
As of February 6, 2025, Nestlé India Limited’s share price showed a modest upward movement. The stock opened at the day’s high of ₹2,269, before settling at ₹2,253.20, reflecting a 0.19% increase, or ₹4.25 at 9:20 AM on the NSE, from its previous close of ₹2,248.95. The lowest point during the day was ₹2,242.30. The stock lost close to 1% in the last two trading sessions.
