Nestle India Q4FY26 Preview: Nestle India is expected to report a steady performance in the fourth quarter of FY26, with its shares rising 2.1 per cent on Tuesday ahead of the results announcement. The FMCG major is likely to deliver double-digit revenue growth, supported by strong volume traction, resilient domestic demand and healthy exports, even as margin pressures persist due to elevated costs.
On a year-on-year basis, Nestle India’s standalone revenue is expected to rise 12.6 per cent to Rs 6,196 crore, while Ebitda is estimated to increase 7.8 per cent to Rs 1,498 crore. Profit after tax is seen growing 4.6 per cent to Rs 926 crore. However, Ebitda margin is likely to contract by around 110 basis points to 24.1 per cent, weighed down by higher staff and other operating expenses. Volume growth is expected in the 9–11 per cent range, with double-digit growth across most segments excluding milk products and nutrition. The company’s limited exposure to the Middle East could help insulate earnings, while potential price hikes in Q1 FY27 due to palm oil inflation and updates on capacity expansion will be key monitorables.
