Nestle (OTCPK:NSRGY), the world's largest food company, is based in Switzerland but owns such all-American brands as Gerber, Carnation, Stoutter's and Purina, the Americas account for 44% of its sales; Europe, the Middle East and North Africa for 31%; and Asia, Oceania and Africa for 25%. Nestlé has a large market share in product areas—confec-tionery, infant formula, water—that have been stable businesses for decades. Because of its strong presence in emerging markets, we believe the company may benefit as emerging consumers buy more packaged foods.
