Nestle's Coffee, Chocolate Units to Help Profit Margin Hit Sweet Spot -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
02-24

0803 GMT - Nestle is expected to deliver a profit margin this year in line with its guidance of 16% or more, given the resilient performance of its coffee and chocolate confectionery businesses, RBC Capital Markets analysts James Edwardes Jones and Wassachon Udomsilpa say in a note. Nestle's coffee and chocolate confectionery segments account for around 30% of the group's total sales and the recent commodity inflation surge must have added intense pressure on their profitability, the analysts say. However, both categories have shown resilience over the last 20 years, and the powdered and liquid beverages business hasn't posted a sales volume decline since at least 2003. For 2025, RBC anticipates real internal growth--Nestle's metric for sales volume--in powdered and liquid beverages and a 4% decline in chocolate confectionery, with price inflation growth of 6% and 8%, respectively.
