Walmart Signals Potential Price Increases as Food Producers Focus on Margins (WMT)May 27, 2026 7:52 AM
IH Market News Walmart (NYSE:WMT) absorbed roughly $175 million in fuel expenses above expectations during the first quarter of fiscal 2027, creating an estimated 250 basis point drag on operating income growth across its worldwide logistics, distribution and fulfillment operations, according to Barclays. The retailer said the move to absorb the additional costs was deliberate, allowing it to continue investing in pricing in order to strengthen customer loyalty and support ongoing market share gains. However, Walmart warned that if elevated operating costs remain in place, the company may need to introduce modest retail price increases beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2027 and continuing throughout the remainder of the year. Barclays said packaged food manufacturers are increasingly likely to prioritise margin protection through pricing measures, even if doing so slows the pace of volume recovery. The bank noted that while price increases carry risks in a consumer environment already facing resistance to higher costs, food companies have historically tended to outperform during pricing-driven cycles because stronger pricing helps preserve revenue growth and profitability. The investment bank highlighted companies such as General Mills (NYSE:GIS), JM Smucker (NYSE:SJM) and Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) as groups currently discussing efforts to optimise manufacturing footprints, suggesting capacity rationalisation could become a more important part of broader restructuring strategies. Barclays also noted that the food retail sector is facing increasing complexity as inflationary pressures coincide with heavier price investment across the industry. Walmart’s first-quarter results showed accelerating unit share gains, helped by a 20% increase in price rollbacks. Meanwhile, Kroger (NYSE:KR) is revising its pricing strategy under new leadership, while BJ’s Wholesale Club (NYSE:BJ) discussed additional pricing investments during the previous week. The bank added that even if Walmart ultimately raises prices, the retailer has historically demonstrated an ability to absorb a greater portion of cost inflation than many competitors, helping maintain significant pricing advantages across the market.

Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday Fall on the Same Day as Old El Paso Celebrates Rare "Taco Totality" with Exclusive Merch and Tacos for Fans NationwideApril 22, 2026 11:17 AM
Business Wire
To help everyone make the most of the rare taco eclipse on May 5, Old El Paso is debuting limited-edition gear designed to enhance every bite and new Old El Paso Stand ‘N Stuff Taco Shells with the flavor of TABASCO® Brand Pepper Sauce


For the first time since 2020, Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday fall on the same day, creating what Old El Paso is calling “Taco Totality,” a rare taco eclipse where two taco-filled occasions align – and won’t again until 2037.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260421304884/en/Old El Paso® celebrates the overlap of Cinco de Mayo and Taco Tuesday with an eclipse-themed Taco Totality Gear Box including new Old El Paso TABASCO® Sauce flavored Taco Shells.
To mark the historic crossover and to help fans fully experience Taco Totality, Old El Paso is dropping a limited-edition Taco Totality Gear Box packed with the new Old El Paso TABASCO® Sauce flavored Taco Shells and taco-inspired essentials, designed to protect every bite during the taco eclipse. Each box includes:



Old El Paso TABASCO® Sauce flavored Taco Shells: Bringing a tangy heat and signature pepper kick that’ll turn taco nights into a fiery spectacle just in time for May 5.



A Taco Totality T-shirt because taco nights tend to leave a few saucy souvenirs behind, and a backup outfit is key.



A Totality Neck Pillow engineered for peak taco tilt because gravity has no place in your taco experience — not when everything is aligned.



Multi-Spectrum Taco Shield Glasses to protect your eyes from onions, jalapeños and other high-risk toppings while chopping, slicing and assembling.



“We take tacos very seriously, and Taco Totality is a chance to really celebrate with our biggest fans,” said Meredith Nelson Uram, Business Unit Director for Old El Paso at General Mills. “People can always count on Old El Paso for taco night essentials, but now we’re taking care of the little details — like shield glasses, because chopping onions is no joke.”


To help everyone get ready for the taco eclipse, Old El Paso tapped actor Randy Havens, known for his role as a beloved science teacher in a popular sci-fi drama, to explain the rare taco phenomenon through a series of short educational social videos.


Anyone planning their Taco Totality menu can stock up on Old El Paso favorites, including shells, beans, sauces, rice and the new out-of-this-world Old El Paso Stand ‘N Stuff Taco Shells and Taco Seasoning made with the flavor of TABASCO® Brand Pepper Sauce, available now nationwide. And since Taco Totality only comes around once in a while, limited time offers like “Save for Cinco” on Ibotta and bonus points on Fetch make it easier to go back for seconds (or thirds).


The collaboration between Old El Paso® x TABASCO® Brand was facilitated by IMG Licensing.

To help everyone get ready for the taco eclipse, Old El Paso tapped actor Randy Havens, known for his role as a beloved science teacher in a popular sci-fi drama, to explain the rare taco phenomenon through a series of short educational social videos.


Anyone planning their Taco Totality menu can stock up on Old El Paso favorites, including shells, beans, sauces, rice and the new out-of-this-world Old El Paso Stand ‘N Stuff Taco Shells and Taco Seasoning made with the flavor of TABASCO® Brand Pepper Sauce, available now nationwide. And since Taco Totality only comes around once in a while, limited time offers like “Save for Cinco” on Ibotta and bonus points on Fetch make it easier to go back for seconds (or thirds).


The collaboration between Old El Paso® x TABASCO® Brand was facilitated by IMG Licensing.

How Beyond Meat Supports Black Communities
1. Partnership With the Social Change Fund (SCF)
Beyond Meat is a founding partner of the Social Change Fund, aligning its resources with SCF’s mission to:

Fight racial injustice

Improve health equity

Support education initiatives

Advance economic opportunities in Black communities

This partnership is backed by high-profile Black leaders and athletes, including Chris Paul, who is also a Beyond Meat investor and ambassador.

2. Nutrition & Health Equity Initiatives
Beyond Meat emphasizes that food is a vehicle for social change. Through SCF, the company supports programs aimed at:

Increasing access to healthier foods

Addressing nutrition gaps in underserved Black neighborhoods

Promoting plant-based diets as a tool for long-term health improvement

CEO Ethan Brown has publicly tied this work to reducing racial disparities in health outcomes.

3. Feed a Million+ Program (Direct Community Support)
During the pandemic, Beyond Meat launched its Feed a Million+ initiative, which ultimately delivered over 5 million free Beyond Burgers and meals to communities in need — including many organizations serving Black families and frontline workers.
Recipients included:

Feeding America

Food Bank for New York City

DC Central Kitchen

Houston Food Bank

Second Harvest Canada

This program was supported by ambassadors like Chris Paul, Kevin Hart, Ashanti, and P.K. Subban.

4. Using Brand Influence to Amplify Black Voices
Beyond Meat leverages its platform and celebrity partners to:

Highlight racial justice issues

Support community-driven organizations

Promote Black leadership within the plant-based movement

Chris Paul has repeatedly emphasized that Beyond Meat is committed to “progress for our communities.”

Bottom Line
Beyond Meat’s work with Black communities is not a one-off campaign — it’s a structured, ongoing partnership focused on racial justice, health equity, and community support. Through the Social Change Fund and large-scale food donation programs, BYND is using its brand, products, and partnerships to drive systemic, long-term impact. $GIS $BYND

General Mills $GIS
Products such as Cheerios and other oat-based cereals have repeatedly tested positive for glyphosate residues.

🌡️ Human Health Concerns
Multiple lines of evidence suggest glyphosate exposure may pose risks, especially with long-term or occupational exposure.

Probable carcinogen (IARC) — The International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2A), citing links to non-Hodgkin lymphoma and strong evidence of genotoxicity and oxidative stress.

Endocrine disruption — Studies show glyphosate and glyphosate-based herbicides can mimic estrogen, interfere with hormone receptors, and alter reproductive development in animal models.

Liver and kidney effects — Chronic low-dose exposure in animal studies has been associated with organ damage and altered gene expression in liver and kidney tissue.

Microbiome disruption — Because glyphosate targets the shikimate pathway (present in bacteria), research suggests it may harm beneficial gut microbes, contributing to dysbiosis.

Widespread human exposure — Glyphosate has been detected in 60–80% of the general population, including children, and in urine, blood, and even breast milk.

Some regulatory bodies (like the U.S. EPA) maintain that glyphosate is unlikely to cause cancer when used as directed, but their conclusions have been challenged in court and are under ongoing review.

🌍 Environmental Dangers
Glyphosate’s environmental footprint is massive — and persistent.

Soil and water contamination — Glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA are found in soil, groundwater, and surface water worldwide, with long half-lives and high mobility.

Harm to non-target organisms

Aquatic life shows sensitivity to glyphosate and AMPA.

Soil microbes — essential for nutrient cycling — are disrupted.

Insects and other wildlife experience toxic effects.

Biodiversity loss — Overuse contributes to the decline of plant diversity and indirectly affects pollinators and other species.

Herbicide-resistant “superweeds” — Heavy glyphosate use has driven the evolution of at least 55 resistant weed species, forcing farmers into a cycle of increasing chemical use.

🧪 Scientific and Regulatory Debate
The controversy isn’t just scientific — it’s political and economic.

Regulators disagree:

IARC sees a cancer risk.

EFSA and EPA have historically downplayed carcinogenicity, though EPA’s human-health assessment was vacated by a federal court for inadequate analysis.

Industry influence — Investigations show Monsanto (now Bayer) worked for decades to shape the scientific narrative around glyphosate’s safety.

Exposure is rising — U.S. exposure increased ~500% since the introduction of Roundup-Ready GMO crops.

$GIS General Mills states that many of its U.S. products contain genetically modified (bioengineered) ingredients.

⚠️ Reported or Suggested Health Issues Linked to GMOs (According to Some Studies)
🧬 1. Organ abnormalities in animal studies
Some animal studies have reported cell and tissue damage, including abnormalities in organs such as the liver and kidneys.

🩺 2. Gastrointestinal inflammation
Research cited by the Non-GMO Project notes findings of stomach inflammation and other GI tract issues in animals fed certain GMO crops.

🧠 3. Neurological and developmental concerns
Herbicide residues associated with herbicide-tolerant GMO crops have been linked (in some studies) to neurological, developmental, and metabolic effects.

🧪 4. Endocrine disruption
Some studies suggest herbicide exposure from GMO crop systems may affect hormone regulation, potentially disrupting endocrine function.

🧫 5. Reproductive issues
Animal studies have reported low fertility and reproductive system effects in certain GMO feeding trials.

🦠 6. Tumors or cancer in some animal studies
A systematic review identified tumor formation as one of the serious adverse events in a subset of animal studies involving specific GMO varieties.
(Note: Regulatory bodies like the FDA and National Academies do not find evidence that GMOs increase cancer risk in humans.)

🧬 7. Potential genotoxic effects
Herbicide residues associated with GMO crop systems have been linked to DNA damage (genotoxicity) in some studies.

🧂 8. Kidney and liver damage
Multiple animal studies have reported kidney and liver changes after consuming certain GMO crops.

He noted that investments, divestitures, and unfavorable timing comparisons drove declines through the first three quarters as expected, while volume and market share improved.Organic net sales fell 3% during the quarter, reflecting lower organic pound volume along with unfavorable pricing and product mix. In the North America Retail segment, organic net sales dropped 4%, although the company held or expanded pound share in seven of its top 10 U.S. product categories. Adjusted operating profit came in at $547 million, down 32% in constant currency due to lower volumes and higher input costs.Looking ahead, General Mills expects a meaningful rebound in the fourth quarter, supported by favorable timing comparisons, the benefit of a 53rd week in the fiscal year, and continued gains in market share.General Mills stock price

General Mills revives taco shell brand, creating over 100 local jobs and expanding from regional to national availability for the first time

This brand loyalty is exemplified by the public "Please Bring Back La Tiara Taco Shells" Facebook group, with over 20,000 members, awaiting its return.

This brand relaunch is a testament to General Mills' focus on delivering innovative, remarkable products that meet evolving consumer needs. Made with stone-ground masa and available in both yellow and white corn options, the shells will offer the same taste and texture brand enthusiasts enjoy. In addition to bringing back its original taco seasoning, La Tiara is also introducing three new flavors: Chorizo, Tinga, and Reduced Sodium.


Beginning in April, the La Tiara taco shells and seasoning will be available nationwide exclusively at Walmart.


General Mills has been Making Food the World Loves in Missouri since 1921. As of 2024, brands like Nature Valley, Old El Paso, Progresso and Blue Buffalo have contributed to nearly 2,400 jobs in the state. In May 2025, General Mills acquired La Tiara, and the reopening of its Gladstone, Mo., facility this year has created over 100 jobs to date and counting, strengthening the local community and economy.

General Mills slides after trimming fiscal 2026 guidanceFebruary 17, 2026 10:33 AM
IH Market News
General Mills (NYSE:GIS) shares dropped 3.6% on Tuesday morning after the packaged food company lowered its outlook for fiscal 2026, pointing to a tougher consumer backdrop.The Minneapolis-based group, whose portfolio includes brands such as Cheerios and Betty Crocker, now expects organic net sales to decline between 1.5% and 2% in fiscal 2026. That compares with its prior projection of a range between a 1% drop and 1% growth. The company also revised down its expectations for adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted earnings per share, forecasting a 16% to 20% decrease in constant currency—worse than the earlier outlook of a 10% to 15% decline.General Mills said the revised guidance reflects subdued consumer sentiment, elevated uncertainty and ongoing volatility, all of which have pressured category growth and altered purchasing behavior. Management noted that the anticipated recovery in volumes has taken longer and required more investment than originally planned.Even so, the company continues to emphasize its “Remarkability playbook” as a driver of long-term growth. It is allocating resources to its portfolio of leading brands, eight of which each generate more than $1 billion in retail sales. Management also expects new product launches to contribute roughly 25% growth in net sales in fiscal 2026, with innovation focused on consumer preferences such as bold flavors, familiar classics and better-for-you offerings.“Since launching our Accelerate strategy six years ago, we’ve been hard at work transforming General Mills,” said Jeff Harmening, chairman and CEO. “We’ve strategically reshaped nearly a third of our portfolio, built advantaged digital capabilities, and delivered industry-leading cost efficiency.”The company reiterated its target of converting at least 95% of adjusted after-tax earnings into free cash flow in fiscal 2026.General Mills stock price

General Mills Outlines Progress on Accelerate Strategy at CAGNY ConferenceFebruary 17, 2026 6:30 AM
Business Wire
Company Updates Full-year Fiscal 2026 Outlook Amid Challenging Consumer Environment


General Mills, Inc. (NYSE: GIS) will share an update on the company’s Accelerate strategy and key initiatives at today’s Consumer Analyst Group of New York (CAGNY) Conference. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Harmening, Chief Financial Officer Kofi Bruce, and Group President of North America Retail and North America Pet Dana McNabb will outline plans to drive sustainable growth by delivering greater remarkability through the company’s global brands.


“Since launching our Accelerate strategy six years ago, we’ve been hard at work transforming General Mills,” said Jeff Harmening, chairman and CEO, General Mills. “We've strategically reshaped nearly a third of our portfolio, built advantaged digital capabilities, and delivered industry-leading cost efficiency. Amid a volatile operating environment, we remain focused on what we can control by executing our Remarkability playbook, which is resulting in significantly improved competitiveness for our brands. I believe our strong foundation positions us well to continuously adapt, drive profitable growth, and meet the evolving demands of our consumers.”


Generating Long-term Sustainable Growth


With its Accelerate strategy as the guide, General Mills is investing behind remarkability as the primary lever to restore organic sales growth and drive long-term sustainable shareholder value. During its presentation at CAGNY, company leaders will discuss:



Delivering Remarkable Brand Experiences: General Mills is making bold choices to deliver remarkable experiences for consumers across its total product offering, including product, packaging, brand communication, omnichannel execution, and consumer value. The company continues to significantly invest in its portfolio of iconic brands, including eight leading brands that each generate more than $1 billion in retail sales.



Prioritizing Consumer-centric Innovation: General Mills is enhancing its innovation capabilities to deliver bigger ideas that resonate with consumers across its four business segments. The company expects to deliver an approximately 25 percent increase in net sales from new products in fiscal 2026 by focusing its innovation on three key consumer trends: bold flavors, familiar and fun favorites, and better-for-you benefits like protein and fiber.



Unleashing Digital and Technology Capabilities: General Mills has strategically invested in building a scaled digital infrastructure that enables world-class digital and technology capabilities. Key initiatives in supply chain digitization, data-driven marketing, and strategic revenue management are unlocking new opportunities to drive growth while improving efficiency and agility.



Driving Shareholder Returns: General Mills’ sustainable business model creates shareholder value through net sales growth, margin expansion, cash conversion, and cash returns to shareholders. The company has a strong track record of converting earnings into free cash flow, enabling it to return more than $14 billion to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases since fiscal 2019.



Updated Fiscal 2026 Financial Outlook


While the company is making meaningful progress in strengthening its remarkability to position the business for long-term sustainable growth, this progress has come amid a more challenging backdrop. Weak consumer sentiment, heightened uncertainty, and significant volatility have weighed on category growth and impacted consumer purchase patterns, resulting in a slower pace and higher cost of volume recovery than initially expected. Based on its revised expectations, the company is updating its full-year fiscal 2026 financial outlook1:



Organic net sales are now expected to be down 1.5 to 2 percent, compared to the previous range of down 1 percent to up 1 percent.



Adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted EPS are now expected to be down 16 to 20 percent in constant currency, compared to the previous range of down 10 to 15 percent in constant currency.



Free cash flow conversion is still expected to be at least 95 percent of adjusted after-tax earnings.



A webcast of the company’s CAGNY 2026 presentation will begin today at 7 a.m. CT. A replay of the presentation and related materials will be made available on the General Mills’ Investor Relations website at www.generalmills.com/investors.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements


This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions. These forward-looking statements, including the statements under the caption “Updated Fiscal 2026 Financial Outlook,” are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the potential results discussed in the forward-looking statements. In particular, our future results could be affected by a variety of factors, including: imposed and threatened tariffs by the United States and its trading partners; disruptions or inefficiencies in the supply chain; competitive dynamics in the consumer foods industry and the markets for our products, including new product introductions, advertising activities, pricing actions, and promotional activities of our competitors; economic conditions, including changes in inflation rates, interest rates, tax rates, tariffs, or the availability of capital; product development and innovation; consumer acceptance of new products and product improvements; consumer reaction to pricing actions and changes in promotion levels; acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or assets; changes in capital structure; changes in the legal and regulatory environment, including tax legislation, labeling and advertising regulations, and litigation; impairments in the carrying value of goodwill, other intangible assets, or other long-lived assets, or changes in the useful lives of other intangible assets; changes in accounting standards and the impact of critical accounting estimates; product quality and safety issues, including recalls and product liability; changes in consumer demand for our products; effectiveness of advertising, marketing, and promotional programs; changes in consumer behavior, trends, and preferences, including weight loss trends; consumer perception of health-related issues, including obesity; consolidation in the retail environment; changes in purchasing and inventory levels of significant customers; fluctuations in the cost and availability of supply chain resources, including raw materials, packaging, energy, and transportation; effectiveness of restructuring, transformation and cost saving initiatives; volatility in the market value of derivatives used to manage price risk for certain commodities; benefit plan expenses due to changes in plan asset values and discount rates used to determine plan liabilities; failure or breach of our information technology systems; foreign economic conditions, including currency rate fluctuations and tariffs; and political unrest in foreign markets and economic uncertainty due to terrorism or war.

Reminder on Non-GAAP Guidance


Our fiscal 2026 outlook for organic net sales growth, constant-currency adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted EPS, and free cash flow conversion are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude, or have otherwise been adjusted for, items impacting comparability, including the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, restructuring and transformation charges, transaction and acquisition integration costs, acquisitions, divestitures, mark-to-market effects, and a 53rd week. We are not able to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts because we are unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the actual impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices or the timing or impact of acquisitions, divestitures, and restructuring and transformation actions throughout fiscal 2026. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on our fiscal 2026 GAAP financial results.?


For fiscal 2026, we currently expect: the net impact from foreign currency exchange rates (based on a blend of forward and forecasted rates and hedge positions), acquisitions and divestitures completed in fiscal 2025 and in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, and a 53rd week to reduce net sales growth by approximately 4 percent; foreign currency exchange rates to have an immaterial impact on adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted EPS growth; and restructuring and transformation charges and transaction and acquisition integration costs related to actions previously announced to total approximately $160 million to $165 million.?

$GIS 🥣 General Mills
General Mills, known for cereals like Lucky Charms and Trix, has also relied on artificial colors to make products look more appealing. These dyes are under scrutiny for their potential effects on children’s behavior. The company has announced plans to remove them, but concerns remain about other chemicals that can leach from packaging, such as plasticizers, which may disrupt hormones.

20 Biggest Snack Companies in the World

March 14, 2024
https://www.insidermonkey.com/blog/20-biggest-snack-companies-in-the-world-1274317/
7. General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:GIS)

Market Capitalization: $37.5 billion

As one of the largest snack companies globally, General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:GIS) promotes several popular North American brands, such as Gold Medal flour, Annie’s Homegrown, Lärabar, Cascadian Farm, Betty Crocker, Yoplait, Nature Valley, Totino’s, Pillsbury, Old El Paso, and Häagen-Dazs.

General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:GIS) adjusted operating profit rose by 13%, reaching $989 million in constant currency, attributed to increased adjusted gross profit and decreased compensation and benefits expenses. The adjusted operating profit margin also improved by 240 basis points, reaching 19.3%.

It was definitely overbought when spiking into the mid $80 per share range. I was hoping for a pullback but imo this could go into the high $50 range.

Does the bleeding ever stop here? Damn, come on gis

11:26 a.m. ET: General Mills notches best 2-day gain on better-than-expected earnings

Shares of General Mills (GIS) rose for a second straight day after the food giant reported better-than-expected earnings results and full-year guidance on Wednesday.

The company lifted forecasts on its full-year core sales and profit thanks to a boost from higher prices and strong demand for cereals, snack bars and pet food.

“More important than the 3Q beat, in our view, was the company raising its full-year outlook (beyond what was expected exiting 2Q),” Deutsche Bank analyst Steve Powers said in a note.

General Mills stock was up 2.65% to $65.93 per share as of 11:24 a.m. ET after climbing as much as 6% in early trading.

Food Prices Reach 10-Year High

7X EPS is most you should pay for this!

1 year comps going down in some metrics is a tell that they will most likely have to eat any inflation they encounter. If they try to pass it on, product will start to sit on shelves!

Last post 2 months ago but......They're Great !......

“General Mills’ most recent quarterly results showed 14% volume growth YOY for the pet food business. The segment continues to lead in terms of growth for General Mills.

Last month, the company announced that it’s buying Tyson Foods’ pet treat business for a net consideration of $975 million. This should bolster General Mills’ competitive position in the pet food sector and position it for further growth.”

Adding, better than the Bank, and folks gotta EAT!

Green company of the year!

General Mills (GIS) Stock Nears Fresh High on Bull Note
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | April 15, 2020

• Piper Sandler upgraded General Mills to "overweight" from "neutral"
• Piper Sandler said General Mills is well positioned to outperform in the current market

Packaged food producer General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:GIS) is up 1% at $59.41 after Piper Sandler upgraded the equity to "overweight" from "neutral" and lifted its price target to $67 from $59. The analyst said General Mills' recent retail trends and limited exposure to the foodservice space indicates that it is well positioned to outperform in the current market.

The pop puts GIS at a one-month high, which is just a chip shot from its two-year peak of $60. Looking back, the equity has enjoyed recent support at its 10-day moving average, which helped guide GIS away from its late-March plummet near the $47 region. Since then, GIS is up roughly 25%, and boasts a 10% year-to-date gain.

The majority of the brokerage bunch still isn't sold on General Mills. Of the 12 covering the cereal specialist, only two call it a "strong buy" while the rest say "hold." Adding to this, the consensus 12-month price target of $58.88 is right in line with last night's close.

June 26 (Reuters) - General Mills Inc on Wednesday reported quarterly sales below Wall Street estimates, hurt by lower demand for its snacks in North America.
Net earnings attributable to the company rose to $570.2 million, or 94 cents per share, in the fourth quarter ended May 26, from $354.4 million, or 59 cents per share, a year earlier.
Net sales rose 6.9% to $4.16 billion, below the average analyst estimate of $4.24 billion, according to Refinitiv IBES data.
The boost in quarterly sales came from its acquisition of pet foods company Blue Buffalo last year.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- General Mills (NYSE: GIS) today reported results for the third quarter ended February 24, 2019. Financial results for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2019 include contributions from Blue Buffalo Pet Products, Inc. ("Blue Buffalo"), which was acquired on April 24, 2018.
"We had a strong third quarter, with positive organic sales growth and significant operating margin expansion," said General Mills Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Harmening. "Our year-to-date performance and fourth-quarter plans give us confidence that we will meet or exceed all of our key fiscal 2019 targets. For the full year, we now expect adjusted diluted EPS and free cash flow conversion will exceed our initial targets, net sales will finish toward the lower end of our guidance range, and adjusted operating profit will finish toward the higher end of the range. Our improved execution and strengthened performance this year reinforce our view that a balanced approach to top and bottom-line growth, centered on our Consumer First strategy, will drive long-term value for our shareholders."
