Nestle India share price fell by 0.55% to ₹2,420 at 12.18 PM. The company has announced its FY25 financial results today. The company posted a net profit of ₹885.4 crore, nearly in line with street expectations of ₹892 crore. Its revenue from operations came in at ₹5,503 crore, also close to the expected ₹5,530 crore.
Nestle’s performance was driven by steady demand across its product categories, with strong contributions from both rural and urban markets. The company managed to keep pricing stable even with rising input costs, which helped maintain its customer base.
Nestle India reported an EBITDA of ₹1,389 crore, higher than the market expectation of ₹1,351 crore. The company’s EBITDA margin improved to 25.2%, beating the projected 24.4%. This increase was supported by better cost control and favorable prices of some raw materials, helping the company protect its profitability.
To reward its shareholders, Nestle’s board recommended a final dividend of ₹10 per share for the financial year 2025. This comes on top of earlier interim dividends declared during the year, reflecting the company’s consistent profit growth and shareholder-friendly approach.
Nestle shares opened higher and gained 3.4% after the announcement but later slipped into negative territory. This reaction was similar to peer company HUL, indicating that broader market trends might be affecting investor sentiment, regardless of strong fundamentals.
Nestle India continues to show strength through innovation, deeper rural reach, and premium product strategies. While global commodity prices may impact future margins, efficient operations and brand strength are likely to support the company in FY26.
