Here is what brokerages have to say about the stock and the company post the June quarter earnings:
Credit Suisse | Rating: Neutral | Target: Rs 18,350
The broking house has kept “neutral” rating on the stock due to stretched valuations and limited room for a positive surprise. However, it remains positive on long-term prospects, while cut CY21-23 earnings by 3 percent.
UBS | Rating: Buy | Target: Rs 21,500
UBS maintained “buy” rating on the stock as the key categories drive growth, while e-commerce accelerates. The Q2CY21 domestic sales were up 13.7 percent YoY. The new product contribution is growing and expansion is on track.
JPMorgan | Rating: Neutral | Target: 17,700
The broking firm has stayed neutral on the stock due to a limited scope for earnings upgrades. The scope for higher dividend payout remains.
Morgan Stanley | Rating: Equal-weight | Target: Rs 17,511
The growing revenue contribution from e-commerce and innovations are key positives. However, rising commodity prices leading to 160 bps QoQ dip in gross margin is negative.

CLSA | Rating: Outperform | Target: Cuts to Rs 18,500 from Rs 19,000
The topline and margin were a miss, while Q2 normalcy should help the recovery. The Q2 was weaker than expected, with sales, EBITDA and profit growth of 14/10/5 percent YoY.
The drop in sales’ two-year CAGR from 10 percent to 8 percent is unsatisfactory, while the company is expected to leverage penetration opportunities. CLSA has cut earnings estimates by 3 percent.
Prabhudas Lilladher | Rating: Accumulate | Target: Rs 19,290
We estimate 13.7 percent PAT CAGR over CY20-23 and have marginally tweaked CY22/CY23 EPS by -0.1 percent/0.2 percent on account of higher interest and lower depreciation and other income.
Long term is intact but expect back-ended returns, given rich valuations of 60.3xJune23 EPS.
Motilal Oswal | Rating: Neutral | Target: Rs 18,600
The long-term narrative for Nestle’s revenue and earnings growth are highly attractive.
The packaged foods segment in India offers immense growth opportunities. This is particularly true for a company like Nestle, with a strong pedigree and distribution strength. Successful implementation of its volume-led growth strategy in recent years provides confidence on execution as well.
