Nestle Japan has launched Nescafe Gold Blend Caffeine Half, an instant coffee containing half the caffeine of standard options, targeting consumers wary of caffeine intake. With 30% of Japanese avoiding coffee due to caffeine, the company aims to increase the market share of decaf and low-caffeine products to 20% by 2030. The new product will be available in 20-stick packs at select drugstores and on Amazon starting in March, with plans for additional formats in the future.
Nestle India closed at Rs 2232.7 on January 5, 2025, reflecting a 2.89% decline over the past month. The stock had a trading volume of 1,011,450 shares and a six-month beta of 0.4886, indicating stable market performance despite recent fluctuations.
Nestlé S.A. has received a consensus "Hold" rating from analysts, with one sell, eight hold, one buy, and one strong buy recommendation. Recent institutional activity shows slight increases in holdings, while the stock trades at $81.89, down from a 12-month high of $117.55. The company operates across various segments, including baby foods, bottled water, cereals, and confectionery products.
Sundial Foods, a California-based alt meat startup known for its innovative protein-structuring technique, has shut down and sold its intellectual property to a large, undisclosed European food company. Founded in 2019 by Jessica Schwabach and Dr. Siwen Deng, the company participated in the Nestlé R&D Accelerator and gained attention for its plant-based chicken wings made from chickpeas and sunflower oil. CEO Schwabach noted that the challenging fundraising environment led to the decision, believing the new owner could better scale the technology.
In 2024, Swiss companies saw a surge in CFO changes, with one in four listed firms appointing new financial leaders, reflecting the need for refined skills amid economic challenges. Experts highlight the importance of collaboration between CEOs and CFOs, as well as the growing focus on communication and crisis management in the evolving role of the CFO.
In 2025, the Swiss economy is projected to grow slightly, with GDP growth revised to 1.5%. The financial sector is recovering post-Credit Suisse crisis, while the pharmaceutical industry faces uncertainties due to potential U.S. drug pricing changes. The food sector must navigate rising commodity prices and shifting consumer demands, particularly in chocolate.
Trading activity is subdued ahead of the Christmas holidays, with many market participants taking a break. The Dow is up 13% this year, while the Nasdaq 100 has nearly doubled that gain, despite Walmart shares dropping over 3% due to a lawsuit. Oil prices fell as the dollar strengthened, impacting crude costs.
Nestlé's stock recently hit a new 52-week low, trading at $81.18, with analysts maintaining an average "Hold" rating. While some firms have upgraded their ratings, others have downgraded, reflecting mixed sentiments among analysts. Institutional investors have shown varied interest, with several increasing their stakes in the company.
Nestlé has launched Boost Pre-Meal Hunger Support, a 45-calorie whey protein solution aimed at reducing appetite and promoting weight loss by increasing natural GLP-1 production. While positioned as a cost-effective alternative to GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, experts caution that its effectiveness is limited compared to these powerful drugs. The product taps into the growing weight-loss market, projected to exceed $150 billion by the decade's end.
Nestlé has completed a CHF20 billion share buyback program, purchasing 187.4 million shares since January 2022 at an average price of CHF106.74. The company has already canceled 14 million shares in 2022, 80 million in 2023, and plans to address the remaining 43.5 million shares at the 2025 Annual General Meeting.
