Bank of America downgraded Nestlé S.A. from Buy to Neutral on Monday.

The bank also reduced its price target for the company's shares.

This move follows disappointing half-year 2026 results released on July 23.

The report triggered a decline in the company's stock price.

Investors expressed concern over a recent drop in sales.

Nestlé simultaneously announced a significant joint venture for its water business.

Analysts cited challenging market conditions as a primary concern.
