General Mills: Better Days Ahead (Upgrade)
GIS
Published: October 22, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

General Mills is upgraded to a buy rating due to signs of stabilization and an attractive valuation near multiyear lows. GIS fundamentals remain weak, with sales and margins under pressure, but margin contraction is slowing which is a positive signal.

General Mills: Still Undervalued Despite Near-Term Headwinds, With Significant Turnaround Potential
GIS
Published: October 22, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

General Mills remains a Buy, supported by turnaround potential, popular brands, and attractive shareholder returns through dividends and accelerated buybacks. GIS faces near-term headwinds such as declining sales, profit drops, and macro uncertainty, but management is focused on cost savings and growth reinvestments. Due to their high payout, GIS' ~5% dividend yield and accelerated buybacks are not sustainable, and I expect them to eventually cut the repurchases.
