NESTLEIND

Nestle India posted 8% YoY revenue growth in Q1 FY26, with Maggi, KitKat, and baby food categories leading. Rural demand remains sluggish, but premium categories like coffee are growing fast. Margins stayed healthy at 22%. With strong brand equity and pricing power, Nestle remains a defensive compounder. At ~70x FY26 EPS, valuations are steep but justified by stability and consistent growth. Suitable for conservative investors seeking long-term wealth creation.
