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
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Nestlé:

Recent upgrades from major analysts, including a "strong-buy" rating from Goldman Sachs, indicate growing confidence in Nestlé's performance.
The stock price is currently at $82.28, which may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for value in a well-established company.
A significant decline in short interest by 13.5% suggests that fewer investors are betting against the stock, which can be a positive sign for its stability.
Institutional investors have been increasing their stakes, with notable increases from firms like First Horizon Advisors, indicating strong institutional confidence in Nestlé's future.
The average recommendation from brokerages is "Hold," suggesting that while there may not be immediate growth, the stock is considered stable and reliable.

Nestlé
Bear Case

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

Despite recent upgrades, one analyst has issued a sell rating, indicating potential concerns about the stock's future performance.
The stock has experienced a 12-month high of $117.55, which may suggest that it is currently overvalued compared to its recent trading range.
With only 0.61% of the stock owned by institutional investors, there may be limited institutional support, which can affect stock stability.
Recent trading volumes have been lower than average, which could indicate reduced investor interest or liquidity issues.
Market conditions and economic factors could impact Nestlé's performance, especially in a competitive food and beverage industry.
