What are Wall Street analysts saying about General Mills stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about General Mills stock:
- 1. Jefferies Financial Group Inc analysts commented, "3Q sales, GP, EBIT and EPS beat significantly, driven entirely by better base business performance. In the quarter, price/mix and organic sales growth accelerated, gross margins expanded, and SG&A was leveraged, dispelling the bear thesis on most fronts. Negatives were Pet margins did not show sequential improvement, organic sales growth is expected to be at low end of guidance range & 4Q EBIT/EPS guidance is set below JEF/Street." (3/20/2019)
- 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "General Mills is taking aggressive initiatives to reinvigorate its U.S. Yogurt business through innovation and promotional support, and is also witnessing improved trends on this front. Also, the company remains committed toward reshaping its portfolio, evident from Blue Buffalo’s buyout. These factors along with strong e-commerce business and HMM savings should continue aiding the company, which saw both the top and the bottom lines grow in first-quarter fiscal 2019. Well, we expect General Mills’ cost-saving and sales-driving efforts to help uplift the stock that has dipped in the past three months. General Mills is battling input cost inflation. Unfortunately, the company expects input cost inflation of 5% in fiscal 2019, a point greater than the fiscal 2018 level. The company is struggling with soft North American retail sales, with weakness in the priority U.S. Yogurt category being a major hurdle." (12/10/2018)
