Nestle continued to focus on distribution strengthening, category expansion and capacity building (capex of INR 50bn planned for the next three years). We value Nestle at 52x P/E on Dec-24E EPS to derive a TP of INR 18,500. With a rich valuation, the absolute upside is limited in the medium term. Maintain REDUCE."

Further, given its rich valuation and limited upside potential, we assign SELL rating and value the stock at a P/E of 43x FY25 EPS."

The company on 9 February 2023 declared 3rd Interim Dividend 2022-23 of Rs. 60/- per equity share. The record date was February 17, 2023.

Our unchanged target price of Rs385 (on DCF framework) implies a downside of 7.5%; hence we upgrade the stock to REDUCE (earlier: Sell)."
