Nestle S.A.

“Nestlé's durable coffee and pet care brands sit inside a deteriorating aggregate business: three years of revenue decline, near-zero volume growth, a leveraged balance sheet built on peak-multiple buybacks, three CEOs in 18 months, and a 10-year expected return of 1.8–2.2x. At 17x forward earnings the stock is fairly priced for a business that no longer earns the compounding premium its history implies — capital is better deployed elsewhere, and existing holders should trim into any strength rather than add.”
