Nestle - Bigger Than You Know

  • We all know Nestle for their chocolate but you may be surprised that they make much more than that. This, combined with the fact that they are one of the largest companies in existence, leads me to believe that they are likely much bigger than you know.
    Note: I wrote too many zeros when I showed 3 billion. My mistake.

      Company Man it’s all good dude. I wasn’t trying to be a jerk. I’m in finance and i run a sales dept (I wear many hats at my company; the life of working for a small company), so I noticed the mistake immediately. With that said I love your content and always drop what I’m doing to watch your videos.
      Also, you always seem to apologize for or act sheepishly about going over financials. But that is what business is all about. The content you cover isn’t new to me of course but it probably is to many of your viewers and may be their only exposure to the financial world so far, so I would highly recommend you continue delving into financials in each of your videos.

    Nestle is also a huge producer of bottled water who was one of the first to be caught labeling tap water as spring water. They are also illegally taking water out of the great lakes for free and selling it at prices higher than oil. They own Kraft, they literally own at least half of what you eat.

      I've been reading a book against this monopolistic behavior called "The Outline of Sanity." By G. K. Chesterton in the early 20th century. Distributists basically say one good way to fight against these types of companies is to shop small and local/regional whenever possible. You have to be okay with paying a little bit more and doing with a little bit less, but you'll end up putting the money back into your own economy and neighborhood. These comments make me wanna pick up that book (virtually) again and finish where I left off.

    In Australia Nestle seems to be kept somewhat at bay. I’ve always just known it as the company behind the Uncle Toby’s oats company, and as far as I know that’s their biggest influence in Australia. They do have some raw ingredients like chocolate ‘melts’ and caramel, but for the most part they’re kept from expanding too far by Arnott’s, and a few more specific, smaller companies. Australians tend to have very specific tastes which only like Australian grown foods.

      Kit Kat (USA) - Hershey's (licensed from Nestle - license executed with Rowntree in 1969 on that and Rolo and Oh Henry! in Canada; Nestle acquired Rowntree in 1988). The rights to O'Henry in the USA are now owned by Ferrero.
      Crunch (USA) - Ferrero (licensed from Nestle - license executed in 2018 as Nestle exited the US confectionery business). This included the US rights to Oh Henry!.

      It's funny that ice cream slipped my mind, considering I have a bunch of it in my freezer.

But I was mostly going off the top of my head of things obviously branded Nestle.

    Lets not forget about the times Nestle built a bottling plant on top of a natural water source that local people in third world countries depended on for clean water, and sold it at such a high price that none of them could afford it. :)
    Also don't forget Nestle giving free baby formula to new moms in third world countries and then stopping when most of them stopped naturally lactating, and then selling the formula and clean water at jacked up prices. :)

    Pet Food is a BILLION dollar industry. Its a smart move for ANY company to make. However, because of this, many popular brands are not suitable for consumption. They barely pass AAFCO standards and AAFCO standards are vague to begin with.| I avoid ALL large name brands. Always check the ingredients. Educate yourself. A good start is to read "Food Pets Die For" by Ann N Martin.

There are plenty of other companies (while not flawless) that have respectable CEO's and don't have a bad track-record. Just my opinions of it as a stock.

They made enough cash in the chocolate industry, which then allowed them to diversify and invest their capital into different sectors. It totally makes sense.
