Nestle Buyback Could Mean Cadbury Purchase Unlikely

Finance World News Update by EQUITIES Magazine

After selling its stake in Alcon Inc., Nestle SA will buy back 10 billion francs ($9.6 billion) of stock. The buyback indicates the food company isn’t planning on making any big purchases, especially for a company the size of Cadbury Plc.

 

Nestle said the two-year buyback will begin once an existing 25 billion-franc programs finishes this year.


 Stock of Nestle was up $1.14, or 2.36 percent, to $49.49.
