However, it is currently trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, indicating a potential trend of underperformance relative to its historical averages.
With a market capitalization of Rs 2,14,872.06 crore, Nestle India has a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 71.53, significantly higher than the industry average of 54.98.

Despite these recent setbacks, the company has shown resilience over the long term, with a 10-year performance of 251.35%, outperforming the Sensex's 187.67%. As the FMCG sector continues to evolve, Nestle India's performance metrics reflect both the challenges and strengths inherent in the market landscape.
