Nestle's sales rise, margins slip
Mint New Delhi
|October 23, 2025
Nestle India Ltd’s return todouble-digit growth after eight quartersin Q2FY26 gives investors reason to cheer, but it also raises the bar for what comes next.
The stock touched a new high of ₹1,311.60 on 17 October after Q2 total operating revenue rose 10.6% year-on-year (yo-y) to ₹5,644 crore (domestic sales stood at ₹5,411 crore), ahead of most estimates.
The rebound was broad-based, led by prepared dishes, confectionery and beverages, each gaining ahead of the festive season. “We believe Nestlé's new leadership will prioritize reviving topline growth; we evidenced this in Q2FY26, with domestic sales growth at 11% (driven by high single-digit volume growth; increased promotional activity likely supported the performance),” said Emkay Research. The firm’s Q2 exports rose 14%.
