The company doubled its savings target to CHF 3 billion annually and expects one-off restructuring costs to be roughly twice the planned savings.

Market Reaction and Analyst Assessment
Following the report, Nestlé’s share price jumped 8%, the largest single-day gain in 17 years. It is important to note that the stock surge was driven not by the financial results themselves, which were mostly in line with expectations, but primarily by the announcement of restructuring and job-cut plans. The market and analysts have responded positively to this direction, recognizing signs of improvement in real internal growth and appreciating the ambitious savings targets. At the same time, they caution about risks related to foreign markets and challenges expected in the final quarter. Despite these concerns, the measures taken are seen as a solid foundation for the company’s further transformation.
