Nestle SA sales grew at more than twice the rate analysts expected as the Swiss food giant sold more Nespresso capsules to people working from home and restaurants in Asia stocked up as they started reopening.
The Hot Pockets maker is benefiting from the best of both worlds: people stuck at home buying coffee and convenience meals, and other markets reopening restaurants that need to replenish kitchen supplies.

Dispute With Board Sees Absa Bank CEO Depart After 16 Months
Bloomberg 1 hr ago Roxanne Henderson
(Bloomberg) Absa Group Ltd. Chief Executive Officer Daniel Mminele is leaving South Africa’s third-largest bank after a dispute over strategy, ending a 16-month tenure just as the lender looked to bounce back from the Covid-19 crisis.
The board and CEO differed on a range of matters including “structure, operating model, priorities and how you go about implementing them,” Chairman Wendy Lucas-Bull said in an interview on Tuesday. “It’s a lack of ability to get onto the same page.”
Financial Director Jason Quinn will step into the top job on an interim basis, becoming the bank’s fourth leader in less than three years, Absa said in an earlier statement.
