Here are three reasons behind the rally in Nestle India stock:
  1. Strong Q4 results
Nestle India posted a 26% increase in quarterly profit on Tuesday, benefiting from strong demand for packaged foods, including KitKat chocolates and Maggi instant noodles. For Nestle India, revenue during the March quarter grew 23% to Rs 6,748 crore, with the company posting its highest-ever domestic sales. The Indian unit of Swiss food major Nestle said net profit stood at Rs 1,114 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 31, compared to Rs 885 crore a year earlier. 2.Double-digit volume growth The strong Q4 performance was powered by double-digit volume growth, driven by over 50% increase in advertising spends, while delivering a healthy EBITDA margin of 26.3%, said the FMCG firm. "Confectionery product group grew at a high double-digit pace in both value and volume underpinned by strong underlying transaction growth across our powerhouse brands. Increased distribution, enhanced freshness through the visicooler programme and a slew of innovations helped sustain this momentum. "The Powdered and Liquid Beverages product group achieved another year of high double-digit growth, driven by increased coffee penetration, accelerated premiumisation, and deeper category relevance across consumer segments, supported by strong brand equity and an expanded footprint. "The Pet food business reported high double-digit growth, driven by a strong innovation pipeline to expand penetration and trials, wider distribution and a sharper focus on building deeper bonds between pets and pet parents," Nestle said in a stock exchange filing. 3. Strong commodity outlook The company expects lower raw material costs. "Coffee prices continue to trend lower, supported by a favourable crop in Vietnam and the forthcoming crop in Brazil. Cocoa prices remain subdued, reflecting improved supply and moderated demand. Sugar prices remain stable. Edible oil prices are firm and have moved higher in line with global crude oil prices, supported by increased diversion to biodiesel. Wheat has been affected by unseasonal rains in April, resulting in a delayed harvest and lower quantity and quality," said Nestle India.]]> Moneycontrol.com Team Moneycontrol.com en-us Moneycontrol.com Tuesday, Apr 21, 2026 02:51 PM https://images.moneycontrol.com/static-mcnews/2023/10/Nestle.jpg Nestle India shares rise 5.5% post-Q4 results: Here are three reasons https://www.moneycontrol.com/technology/apple-ceo-tim-cook-shares-a-thank-you-note-for-apple-community-on-his-exit-as-ceo-article-13895158.html Apple CEO Tim Cook shares a ‘thank you note’ for Apple community on his exit as CEO https://www.moneycontrol.com/technology/apple-ceo-tim-cook-shares-a-thank-you-note-for-apple-community-on-his-exit-as-ceo-article-13895158.html What Tim Cook said in his message In his letter addressed to the Apple community, Cook said that one of his daily routines over the years was reading emails from users across the world. These messages, he noted, ranged from stories about how Apple devices played a role in critical moments—such as health alerts from the Apple Watch—to feedback about issues users faced. Cook said these interactions helped him stay connected to users and reinforced his sense of responsibility. He described the emails as reminders of the “shared humanity” between the company and its customers, shaping how Apple approached its products and services. Transition to new leadership Cook confirmed that John Ternus will take over as the next CEO. Ternus, who has spent over two decades at Apple and currently leads hardware engineering, was described by Cook as a key contributor to many of the company’s products. According to Cook, Ternus’s leadership will be reflected in future Apple offerings, with a continued focus on product development and user experience. A personal note of gratitude In the closing part of the message, Cook thanked Apple users for their trust and engagement over the years. He acknowledged the role of customers in shaping the company’s direction and said their support had been central to his experience as CEO. Cook added that while he is stepping down from the CEO role, his association with Apple will continue in a new capacity. He described the transition not as a goodbye, but as a change in responsibilities, while expressing appreciation for the global Apple community. Read the complete note  Community Letter from Tim To the Apple community: For the past 15 years I’ve started just about every morning the same way. I open my email and I read notes I received the day before from Apple’s users all over the world. You share little pieces of your lives with me and tell me things you want me to know about how Apple has touched you. About the moment your mom was saved by her Apple Watch. About the perfect selfie you captured at the summit of a mountain that seemed impossible to climb. You thank me for the ways Mac has changed what you can do at work and sometimes give me a hard time because something you care about isn’t working like it should. In every one of those emails I feel the beating heart of our shared humanity. I feel a sense of deepening obligation to work harder and push further. But most of all, I feel a gratitude that I cannot put into words, that I somehow got to be the person on the other end of those emails, the leader of a company that ignites imaginations and enriches lives in such profound ways it defies description. What an honor and a privilege it has been. Today we announced that I’m taking the next step in my journey at Apple. Over the coming months I will be transitioning into a new role, leaving the CEO job behind in September and becoming Apple’s executive chairman. A new person will be stepping into what I know in my heart is the best job in the world. That leader is John Ternus, a brilliant engineer and thinker who has spent the past 25 years building the Apple products our users love so much, obsessed with every detail, focused on every possible way we can make something better, bolder, more beautiful, and more meaningful. He is the perfect person for the job. John cares so much about who we are at Apple, what we do at Apple, who we reach at Apple, and he has the heart and character to lead with extraordinary integrity. I am so proud to call him Apple’s next CEO. This company will reach such incredible heights under his leadership, and you will feel his impact in every bit of delight and discovery that grows out of the products and services to come. I can’t wait for you to get to know him like I do. This is not goodbye. But at this moment of transition, I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you. Not on behalf of the company, this time, though there is a wellspring of gratitude for you that overflows inside our walls. But simply on behalf of me. Tim. A person who grew up in a rural place in a different time and, for these magical moments, got to be the CEO of the greatest company in the world. Thank you for the confidence and kindness you’ve shown me. Thank you for saying hi to me on the street and in our stores. Thank you for cheering alongside me when we unveiled a new product or service. Thank you, most of all, for believing in me to lead the company that has always put you at the center of our work. Every day we get up and think about what we can do to make your life a little bit better. And every day, you’ve made mine the best I could have asked for. Thank you]]> Moneycontrol.com Team Moneycontrol.com en-us Moneycontrol.com Tuesday, Apr 21, 2026 02:45 PM https://images.moneycontrol.com/static-mcnews/2026/04/20260421091414_Apple-CEO.png Apple CEO Tim Cook shares a ‘thank you note’ for Apple community on his exit as CEO https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/how-ukraine-is-fighting-a-drone-war-from-hundreds-of-kilometres-away-article-13895144.html How Ukraine is fighting a drone war from hundreds of kilometres away https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/how-ukraine-is-fighting-a-drone-war-from-hundreds-of-kilometres-away-article-13895144.html Moneycontrol.com Team Moneycontrol.com en-us Moneycontrol.com Tuesday, Apr 21, 2026 02:41 PM https://images.moneycontrol.com/static-mcnews/2025/08/20250818170230_zelensky-5.jpg How Ukraine is fighting a drone war from hundreds of kilometres away https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/how-china-built-an-energy-fortress-to-survive-oil-shocks-like-the-iran-war-article-13895143.html How China built an ‘energy fortress’ to survive oil shocks like the Iran war https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/how-china-built-an-energy-fortress-to-survive-oil-shocks-like-the-iran-war-article-13895143.html Moneycontrol.com Team Moneycontrol.com en-us Moneycontrol.com Tuesday, Apr 21, 2026 02:40 PM https://images.moneycontrol.com/static-mcnews/2026/02/20260226152627_chinaflagnew.png How China built an ‘energy fortress’ to survive oil shocks like the Iran war https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/deal-or-deadlock-why-conflicting-claims-and-last-minute-moves-have-put-us-iran-talks-in-doubt-as-truce-nears-end-20-points-article-13895124.html Deal or deadlock? Why conflicting claims and last-minute moves have put US-Iran talks in doubt as truce nears end | 20 points https://www.moneycontrol.com/world/deal-or-deadlock-why-conflicting-claims-and-last-minute-moves-have-put-us-iran-talks-in-doubt-as-truce-nears-end-20-points-article-13895124.html Top updates on US-Iran talks confusion 1. No official confirmation from Iran on participation Iranian state television firmly denied that any delegation had left for Islamabad, stating, “So far, no delegation from Iran has departed for Islamabad, Pakistan; whether it is the main or subsidiary delegation; primary or secondary.” The statement directly contradicted circulating reports and highlighted Tehran’s cautious public stance. 2. Reports of delegation arrival dismissed by Tehran Earlier claims, including those attributed to Al Jazeera, suggested that an Iranian delegation led by senior officials had already arrived in Pakistan. However, these were quickly rejected by Iranian authorities, adding to the confusion around whether talks are actually moving forward. 3. Backchannel signals suggest possible participation Despite public denials, The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran has conveyed to regional mediators that it may send a delegation on Tuesday. This indicates that while Tehran is publicly non-committal, it is still exploring diplomatic options behind the scenes. 4. Ghalibaf hardens stance against pressure tactics Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf reiterated a tough position, saying, “We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats.” His remarks underline Tehran’s insistence that talks cannot proceed under military or economic pressure. 5. Iran accuses US of undermining talks Ghalibaf also said Washington was attempting to “turn this negotiating table into a surrender table,” accusing the US of using coercive tactics to extract concessions, particularly through its ongoing blockade. 6. Ceasefire deadline adds urgency to talks The two-week ceasefire is set to expire by Wednesday, creating a narrow window for diplomacy. Both sides face increasing pressure to either reach an understanding or risk a return to open conflict. 7. Trump’s conflicting statements add to uncertainty US President Donald Trump has issued contradictory statements, at one point saying Vice President JD Vance had already departed for Pakistan, before the White House clarified that he had not yet left. 8. Vance still expected to travel for talks According to US officials cited by The New York Times, Vance is now expected to depart Washington on Tuesday. His presence is seen as key to whether high-level talks will actually take place in Islamabad. 9. Trump insists talks were agreed upon Trump told PBS News, “We agreed to be there,” while also expressing uncertainty about whether Iran would attend, reflecting the lack of coordination between both sides. 10. Warning of escalation if ceasefire collapses Trump issued a stark warning, saying, “Then lots of bombs start going off” if the ceasefire is not extended, signalling that military options remain on the table. 11. US unlikely to extend ceasefire deadline According to The Wall Street Journal, Trump is not inclined to extend the truce beyond Wednesday evening, raising the stakes for ongoing diplomatic efforts. 12. Blockade remains central sticking point Trump has made it clear that the US will not lift its blockade on Iranian ports “until there is a 'DEAL',” keeping economic pressure at the core of Washington’s strategy. 13. Iran questions US intent on negotiations Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei has said the US is “not serious” about peace talks, citing continued military and economic actions. 14. Strait of Hormuz tensions continue to rise Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have warned of targeting vessels that pass through the Strait of Hormuz without permission, while the US has accused Iran of harassing ships in the region. 15. Iranian ‘shadow fleet’ bypassing blockade Shipping intelligence from Lloyd’s List indicates that more than 20 Iran-linked vessels have managed to transit despite the US blockade, pointing to gaps in enforcement. 16. Oil markets reflect cautious optimism Global oil prices have edged lower, while stock markets have risen slightly, suggesting that investors still see a possibility of a diplomatic breakthrough. 17. Trump’s ‘nuclear dust’ comments resurface Trump said extracting Iran’s uranium stockpile would be “long” and “difficult,” adding that US strikes had caused a “complete and total obliteration” of nuclear sites. 18. Iran rejects uranium transfer demands Iran’s foreign ministry has maintained that its nuclear stockpile is “not going to be transferred anywhere,” rejecting one of Washington’s key demands. 19. Threat of expanded US strikes remains Trump has warned that Iran could face attacks that would “knock out all of its bridges and power plants” if negotiations fail, reinforcing the high stakes. 20. Signs of diplomatic movement still visible Reuters quoted a Pakistani source involved in the discussions as saying there was movement towards reconvening dialogue. The source also indicated that Trump could attend the talks either in person or virtually if an agreement were to be signed, suggesting that diplomatic channels remain active despite public confusion. A high-stakes moment of uncertainty With mixed signals dominating the narrative, the second round of US-Iran talks remains uncertain. Public posturing, strategic ambiguity and real diplomatic efforts are unfolding at the same time. As the ceasefire deadline approaches, the situation remains finely balanced between negotiation and escalation.]]> Moneycontrol.com Team Moneycontrol.com en-us Moneycontrol.com Tuesday, Apr 21, 2026 02:40 PM https://images.moneycontrol.com/static-mcnews/2026/04/20260421090947_Islamabad-Talks-2.jpg Deal or deadlock?

As the video spread online, comments poured in praising her for being so present and affectionate. Many users called her “Best mom,” while others pointed out how relatable the moment felt. Comments like “This looks like a regular mom duty” and “Maa to maa hoti hai” reflected how people connected with the simplicity of the interaction. The timing of the viral moment added another layer to the story. Just a day earlier, Aishwarya had celebrated 19 years of marriage with Abhishek Bachchan. She shared a series of warm family selfies featuring Abhishek and Aaradhya, giving fans a glimpse into their close-knit bond. The images showed the trio smiling together, marking the occasion with quiet joy rather than grand celebration.

He recalled being in New York during the filming of Guru and imagining a future with Aishwarya. “I used to stand on the balcony of my hotel room and wish that one day… it would be nice if I was married to her,” he said, adding that he later proposed to her on that very balcony. Between the anniversary celebration and this viral airport moment, what comes through clearly is a consistent theme. Beyond the stardom, it’s the everyday family moments that resonate the most.
