Shares in Swiss consumer goods company Nestle posted further gains on Friday morning after a rally a day earlier sparked by upbeat comments from CEO Mark Schneider. Shares in Nestle rose by as much as 2.1% after jumping by more than 3% on Thursday, when Schneider said during a fireside chat with JPMorgan that business was "noticeably picking up pace" after a slow start to the year. Schneider, who said the firm was sticking to its target of around 4% organic sales growth this year, noted that brand support and "significant innovation hitting the shelves" would help underpin strong real internal growth this quarter.

JPMorgan has turned positive on Unilever (LON:ULVR), after several years of caution, but has taken a more cautious view on Nestle (SIX:NESN) as its earnings growth moderates. Unilever has instituted several changes over the past 12 months, analysts at JPMorgan said in a note dated May 23, which have soothed the bank’s concerns, including cultural change and corporate governance; market share underperformance through increased investments and execution focus; and portfolio transformation with disposals. This feeds a stronger FY24, and should give credence to Unilever is on the path to turnaround and contribute to the stock re-rating along with positive earnings revision.
