Supplements divestment and market reaction
According to an article on Yahoo Finance, Nestle is selling its mainstream vitamins, minerals and supplements portfolio to private equity firm Yellow Wood Partners for about USD 1 billion, with the transaction expected to close by the first half of 2027.
Further coverage by Just Food indicates that the assets covered by the agreement with Yellow Wood generated sales of USD 1.2 billion in fiscal year 2025, with a strong concentration of revenue in the United States and additional contributions from Canada and China.
Market commentary summarized by Simply Wall St values Nestle at CHF 91.08 per share based on a most followed narrative, compared with the recent share price of CHF 78.63, implying potential upside of about 15.8% within that valuation framework.
Latest sales figures and growth profile
According to a news summary on Biggo Finance, Nestle reported first half 2026 sales of 43.1 billion Swiss francs, representing organic growth of 3.6% and real internal growth of 1.5% compared with the prior period.
The same summary notes that despite this mid single digit organic growth, net profit was under pressure due to portfolio optimisation costs and input pricing, highlighting that the sale of the mainstream supplements unit is part of a broader strategy to focus on higher margin and higher growth categories.
For investors, the combination of 3.6% organic sales growth in the first half of 2026 and the planned USD 1 billion divestment underlines that Nestle is still pursuing incremental efficiency gains and portfolio reshaping rather than relying solely on volume expansion.

Brazil infant formula investment as growth driver
Looking at the operational expansion side, Nestle has announced that it will invest 2 billion Brazilian reais, equivalent to about USD 392.73 million, in its nutrition and health division in Brazil through 2028, including 600 million reais earmarked for a new infant formula factory in Minas Gerais state, as reported by The Economic Times on September 3, 2026.
A similar report from The Star Malaysia confirms that the planned factory will strengthen Nestle’s position in Latin American infant nutrition and is part of a broader strategy to expand capacity in high growth segments.
For comparison, the 2 billion reais investment represents a long term deployment of funds that will complement the portfolio optimisation achieved through the divestment of the mainstream vitamins, minerals and supplements business, signaling that capital is being reallocated to geographic and category areas where Nestle expects sustained demand.
Product focus: infant formula and nutrition brands
Within its nutrition portfolio, Nestle is known for infant formula brands such as NAN and similar products that address early life nutrition, and the new plant in Brazil is expected to support these lines as demand grows in emerging markets.
The planned capacity increase in Minas Gerais will likely feed into regional distribution for infant formula and related products, giving Nestle additional flexibility in managing sourcing, logistics and pricing in Latin America while leveraging its global research and development capabilities in nutrition science.
