I think it's safe to say everyone knows Nestle (NSRGY) (NSRGF). Whether it's from their sweets or beverages, you probably had a taste of their doing. The company owns a multitude of performing brands and provides investors with sustained returns. The company recorded a 3% organic sales growth that showed through an increased dividend yield. Now in its 24th year of increasing dividends, management is also pursuing a greener initiative with renewed environmental targets. Overall, Nestle seems to get a balanced growth and might benefit investors' portfolios that are seeking a defensive stock.
