GIS Stock Recent News

Barron's eighth annual (2025) ranking of sustainable companies started with the 1,000 largest publicly traded companies by market value, then ranked each by performance for five key constituencies: shareholders, employees, customers, community, and planet. Top-yielding sustainable stocks like Avient, Interpublic, and Campbell's offer attractive net gain potential, with average analyst-estimated returns of 26.26% for the top ten. Seventeen dividend payers show negative free cash flow margins, signaling caution; only three 'safer' stocks—Campbell's, Regions Financial, and Hormel—meet the ideal dividend-to-price ratio.

I track companies with consistent dividend growth, focusing on those with strong financial health and above-average yields versus the S&P 500. This week's highlighted stocks average a 3.1% dividend increase and a 12.5-year growth streak, but only Darden Restaurants stands out for performance. SCHD ETF remains my preferred broad dividend growth holding, outperforming most individual names except Darden over the past decade.

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--General Mills, Inc. (NYSE: GIS) today announced it has completed the sale of its U.S. Yogurt business to Lactalis. The divestiture includes the U.S. operations of several yogurt brands including Yoplait, Go-Gurt, Oui, Mountain High, and :ratio, as well as manufacturing facilities in Murfreesboro, Tenn. and Reed City, Mich. The U.S. Yogurt business contributed approximately $1.2 billion USD to General Mills' fiscal 2025 net sales. The company expects to use the net.

That was quick. The S&P 500 has recovered from the first quarter's atrocious losses that put it into correction territory, and on June 27, the benchmark index set a new all-time high.

General Mills, Inc.  GIS is trading higher on Friday after shares lost more than 30% since September. But that may be about to change.

General Mills beats fiscal fourth-quarter EPS estimates but posts lower sales, with weak volumes and mix weighing on margins and profits.

General Mills, Inc. GIS posted mixed fourth-quarter results and issued a cautious full-year outlook on Wednesday.

General Mills continues to struggle with sales growth and declining EPS, underperforming the market despite its reputation for stability and dividends. Recent earnings confirm lackluster performance, with organic sales expected to remain flat and profit forecasted to drop further in FY2026. Valuation appears cheap on the surface, but poor growth prospects and high PEG ratio suggest the stock is overvalued and could fall further.
