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

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.

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.

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.
