Food major Nestle India‘s March quarter profit, revenue and operating margins beat street estimates, as demand for packaged food & beverages, including Munch chocolates, Maggi noodles and Nescafe remained robust. The company posted a 26% year-on-year increase in standalone net profit for Q4FY26 at Rs 1,114 crore, ahead of Bloomberg consensus estimates of Rs 926 crore for the period. Standalone revenue from operations grew 22.6% year-on-year to Rs 6,748 crore in Q4, ahead of the Rs 6,186 crore forecast by analysts for the period. The standalone financial performance was powered by double-digit volume growth and driven by an over 50% increase in advertising spends during the quarter.
