General Mills, Inc. paid $2.44 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.61 for Aug 2026. At today's price of $35.85 that is a yield of 6.81%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast.

General Mills is on one of our US lists: S&P 500 companies.

General Mills, Inc. earned $397 M of net profit in the Aug 2026 quarter, −67.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. The full FY26 year was a loss of $87.6 M. That is 9.0% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $1.2 B. 1 of the last 12 reported quarters were loss-making.

Net profit is what is left after every cost, interest and tax. Earnings per share, dividends and book value all grow from it.

For the full year, FY26 profit was −$87.6 M (−103.8% on the year before).

Why profit moved: revenue changed −2.8% on a year earlier and the margin moved −0.4 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat.

On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −243.8% and revenue −4.3%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth.

General Mills, Inc. reported $4.4 B of revenue in the Aug 2026 quarter, −2.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. Over 4 years it has grown −0.8% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $18.4 B. The last four reported quarters add to $18.3 B.

Revenue is everything the company billed its customers in the period.

FY26 revenue was $18.4 B, −5.4% on the year before.

Recent pace: the last four quarters grew −4.3% on average, against −0.8% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate.

Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew −4.5%, against −3.9% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising).

General Mills, Inc.'s operating margin was 15.2% in the Aug 2026 quarter, 0.4 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 15.6% and 19.0%. The latest quarter is below every full year in that period.

Operating margin is what is left from every $100 of sales after the costs of running the business, before interest and tax. It shows pricing power and cost control.

Why the margin moved: operating margin changed −0.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +0.0 points. So the drop came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales.

Over the last 3 years, 122% of General Mills, Inc.'s reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $2.2 B of operating cash against −$87.6 M of profit. After $540 M of spending on assets, $1.6 B was left over as free cash.

The profit and loss account shows what was earned. The cash-flow statement shows the cash that actually came in. Comparing operating cash flow with profit is one of the best checks that a profit is real.

Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year.

Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason.

What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building.

General Mills, Inc. does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $1.9 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 3.5% of FY26 revenue a year.

Working capital is the cash tied up between paying suppliers and getting paid. Debtor days: how long customers take to pay. Inventory days: how long stock sits. The cash cycle: the whole loop, in days of sales.

Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn.

Spending on assets: $1.9 B over the last 3 years.

In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns.

General Mills, Inc.'s P/E is 8.3×, about the lowest it has ever been. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 15.4×, over 4.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth.

P/E is the share price divided by a year's profit per share: how many dollars the market pays for each dollar of yearly profit.
