Nestlé - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. 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.

Nestlé operates through diverse segments, including Nespresso and Nestlé Health Science, which can help mitigate risks associated with market fluctuations in any single category.

Bear Case

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

Two analysts have rated the stock with a sell rating, indicating some skepticism about its future performance and potential risks.
Recent downgrades, such as Citigroup moving from a "buy" to a "neutral" rating, suggest that some analysts may see limited upside potential in the near term.
The stock's 50-day moving average price of $98.70 is significantly higher than the current price, which may indicate a bearish trend and potential for further declines.
