Price vs fair value Nestlé trades at a **PREMIUM of 40.50%** to our fair-value estimate and a **discount of 7.45%** to the analyst 12-month target. - Analysts project upside to CHF 88.87 (discount of 7.45%) based on margin recovery and pricing power (analyst count 22.0). - High valuation multiples (P/E 27.91, EV/EBITDA 18.38) reflect perceived quality but limit near-term upside. - Negative growth trends (-2.5% revenue, -31.5% EPS) weigh on sentiment despite strong profitability metrics. - SIDERAVIA’s Valuation percentile (31.1/100) suggests the stock is richly priced relative to peers.
Looking forward Forward P/E of 18.35 and PEG of 0.35 imply expectations for earnings recovery, but execution risks remain given macro headwinds and margin pressures. Dividend sustainability is a key focus amid a payout ratio above 100%.
