Nestlé - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2024)

Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Investors should be bearish about investing in Nestlé for these reasons:

Multiple recent analyst downgrades, including from Morgan Stanley and UBS Group, may signal underlying concerns about Nestlé's current performance and future prospects.
The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 1.26 could pose risks in a volatile market environment, potentially impacting Nestlé's financial flexibility and ability to pursue growth opportunities.
While Nestlé has a strong global presence, economic uncertainties in key regions like Latin America and Greater China could impact the company's revenue and profitability in the short to medium term.
Competitive pressures in the food and beverage industry, coupled with changing consumer preferences and regulatory challenges, may pose challenges for Nestlé in maintaining market share and profitability.
The recent shift in analyst sentiment towards Nestlé, with a higher number of hold and sell ratings, suggests a cautious outlook on the company's ability to deliver strong returns in the near future.
