Nestle Organic Sales Grow, Driven by Price Increases; Backs Outlook
By Giulia Petroni
Nestle reported a 7.8% organic sales growth in the first nine months of the year driven by price increases amid high inflation levels, and backed its full-year outlook.
The Swiss food and beverage giant said sales stood at 68.83 billion Swiss francs ($76.57 billion) in the period from CHF69.13 billion a year earlier, driven by pricing at 8.4%. Real internal growth was minus 0.6%, but the company said the recovery of volume and mix is underway.
A company-compiled consensus estimate had forecast organic sales growth of 8.1%.
