NESN: Portfolio Review And 2026 Execution Reset Are Expected To Unlock Upside

Analysts have trimmed their overall price expectations for Nestlé slightly, with our updated fair value estimate easing from CHF 88.15 to about CHF 87.69, as they factor in a mix of lower revenue growth assumptions, a marginally higher profit margin outlook, and a modestly lower future P/E. This is consistent with recent Street price target resets between CHF 76 and CHF 92.
