Company Report

Nestle's Short-Term Outlook Looks Challening but Long-Term Outlook Intact

Although Nestle's performance during the pandemic has been nothing short of stellar, we believe the main drivers of this outperformance have been fueled by pandemic-led lockdowns—millions of households have adopted pets, and consumption of coffee at home has been boosted by work-from-home trends. While we don't expect a complete reversal of these trends in the future, we do expect outperformance to be less pronounced in the years ahead. We expect organic growth to slow toward the 5% level by the end of our explicit forecast period.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

The breadth and diversity of Nestle's portfolio and its geographic reach allow for easier absorption of brand and operational shocks.

Bears

Given inflationary pressures, volume growth in some of its product categories appears to be weakening, particularly in prepared dishes and milk products, a function of higher demand elasticities and lower pricing power in these categories.
