Nestle India Q2 Profit Rises 36% Amid Revenue Growth; Shares Decline on Inflation Concerns
Nestle India reported a 36.3% year-on-year rise in consolidated net profit to approximately Rs 1,027 crore for Q2 FY27, with revenue increasing about 20% to around Rs 6,788 crore. The growth was driven by double-digit volume increases across product categories and higher domestic and export sales. Despite strong earnings and a healthy EBITDA margin of 23.8%, the company's shares fell between 4% and 9% amid concerns over rising food inflation and volatile commodity costs. Management highlighted increased brand investments and efforts to offset cost pressures through innovation and efficiency.
