Nestlé is selling its mainstream vitamins, minerals, and supplements portfolio to private equity firm Yellow Wood Partners for US$1 billion, while retaining its higher-end, science-led brands such as Solgar and Pure Encapsulations. The divestment is part of Nestlé's broader strategy to focus on premium nutrition, pet food, and coffee, and it follows a review of lower-growth VMS assets. The sale leaves Nestlé more concentrated in premium and science-led nutrition, and the proceeds are expected to be reallocated to higher-growth areas. Investors will watch for progress in retained health science brands, pet care, and coffee, as well as any further portfolio moves in 2026 and 2027.
