Morgan Stanley downgraded Nestle to Underweight from Equal Weight with a $99 price target. The analyst sees potential for up to low-double-digit cuts to consensus 2025 and 2026 earnings estimates as the company reinvests in marketing and research and development. In the mid-term, Nestle may merit a premium valuation, but near-term the stock’s valuation is already pricing in a turnaround, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm says that with commodity headwinds in 2025, rising depreciation and significant efficiencies already achieved, Nestle has limited cost offsets.
