- Nestle's revenue of 6,789 crore rupees, EBITDA of 1,615 crore rupees and net profit were all in line with street estimates.
- Company guided strong broad-based growth across product groups with double digit volume growth; grew 20%, with net profit growth of 36%.
- Stock fell 6% despite in-line results because the street's whisper number was higher and the stock had run up ahead of results.
- Management flagged rising food inflation putting a lid on margins going forward.
- Revenue growth has exceeded 18% for the last three quarters, creating a high base that will make it harder to sustain over 20% growth in H2; stock also trades near all-time highs and at a premium valuation, limiting headroom.
