what happened
Warren Ackerman at Barclays says in a note that Nestle's real internal growth, a key measure of products sold by volume, was boosted by the company's food results. He adds that management did not quantify the effect of the exceptionally strong food and snacks performance over the quarter.
According to his estimate, excluding food and snacks, real internal growth could still have beaten expectations, but it might have been only slightly above 2% instead of the reported 2.8%.
why it matters
Real internal growth is closely watched as a gauge of underlying demand, so investors want to know which segments drive it. If most of the improvement came from one division, the durability of the result in coming quarters becomes the key question for the Swiss food maker's shares and the wider consumer staples sector.
