Nestle is best placed in the FMCG sector with its global standard product portfolio.

Structural changes in Indian consumer behavior will help the company to get sustainable growth.

High Growth of its export business is supported by appreciating rupee and lower off take of beverages.

Due to its vibrant pricing strategies Nestle enjoys a strong consumer bond in lowly competitive categories.

New launches like Sanjivni range of healthy soups and Cerevita in under penetrated health and wellness segments of the FMCG market will help Nestle to get the substantial growth in the market share.

Scale efficiencies, cost reduction initiatives as well as the ongoing strategic transformation process have allowed the business to more than offset higher raw materials costs which however continue to remain at record high levels and pose an ongoing challenge.
CONCERNS:
New strategic incursions can have negative impact over its operating margins. Any negative fluctuation in exports will dent its operating efficiencies. Highly competitive bottle water segment can pose another challenge for the company.

Recommendation:
Nestle has a very strong brand profile in the Food segment of FMCG. It also has the highest growth and margins in the sector. Though costs do present a continuous challenge, the company has managed it well. We consider this a safe and profitable investment in FMCG space and recommend a Buy.
