NESTLEIND

Fundamental View-

Nestlé India continued to deliver steady performance in FY25, with consolidated revenue rising to around ₹20,202 crore (3.3–4.5% YoY growth) and net profit coming in at ₹3,207 crore (flat compared to FY24) – Q4 standalone net profit declined 5–6% to ₹885–₹873 crore amid elevated raw material costs for coffee, cocoa and milk. Beverages and confectionery led growth in Q4, while domestic sales reached a record ₹5,235 crore; export sales fell ~8.6% YoY. Despite margin headwinds, EBITDA margin remained robust at 25.2%. Over FY20–25, the company’s revenue CAGR has surpassed 10%, and net profit CAGR around 21%, driven by strong brands like Maggi, Nescafé, and KitKat, supported by premiumisation, innovation, and deep rural and quick-commerce reach. Nestlé’s formidable product innovation capabilities, urban penetration (93%), wide distribution, strong governance, and high dividend payouts make it one of India’s most resilient FMCG plays, albeit at premium valuations. Technical View- Nestlé India is currently trading around ₹2452.50, showing bullish consolidation near recent highs. On the daily chart, the stock is taking strong support at ₹2435 and the 14-day EMA, indicating continued strength. Both short-term (green) and long-term (blue) EMAs are trending upward, while Parabolic SAR dots below the candles also support the bullish sentiment. MACD remains positive and is gradually rising, and RSI at 56 indicates further room for upward movement before entering the overbought zone. The stock opened at ₹2460, made a low of ₹2433.60 and a high of ₹2468.30, finally closing at ₹2452.50. The company is set to declare its Q1 results tomorrow, so some volatility is expected; however, the technical structure remains strong. Any dip toward the ₹2400 zone can be considered a buying opportunity, and in the medium term, the stock may head toward the ₹2525–2530 levels.
