Nestle: Real Risk Of Negative Earnings Growth In The Near Term

  • I give a 'Hold' rating for NestlĂ© due to uncertain sustainability of early stabilization signs and potential negative earnings growth from tariff-driven inflation. NSRGY's 1Q25 showed modest organic sales growth, but the macro backdrop, including US tariffs, poses significant risks to demand and margins. Positive developments include volume share recovery in US frozen food and coffee creamers and cost discipline through the "Fuel for Growth" program.
