Probability

55%

Nestlé launched a formal auction in January 2026 for a 50% stake in its water-brands division (Perrier, S.Pellegrino, Acqua Panna, Vittel, Contrex) — valued at approximately EUR 5 billion. Advisors: Rothschild & Co and Deutsche Bank. By March 2026, CD&R, KKR, and PAI advanced to the second bidding round. Typical PE transaction timelines of 6–9 months from launch to signing imply July–October 2026. With no winner announced by mid-July, the probability of a signing by September 30 is estimated at ~55%. Nestlé's goal: deconsolidate Nestlé Waters by 2027. No Polymarket/Kalshi market available.
