# General Mills share price today (General Mills, Inc., GIS) > General Mills, Inc.'s P/E is near the low end of its own history, higher than only 2% of past readings, and its quarterly results are still getting worse. GIS · Consumer Staples · Packaged Foods · data as of 3 November 2026. Page: https://www.sectoralpha.in/us/stocks/gis Sector Alpha also publishes a daily newsletter that explains one Indian stock at a time: https://newsletter.sectoralpha.in/?utm_source=sectoralpha&utm_medium=ai_text&utm_campaign=llms ## Key numbers - Business trend: Getting worse, from the last 12 quarters - Price: $34.08 (−26.9% in a year) - P/E: 8.3× (lower than 98% of the last 4.3 years) - Revenue (Aug 2026): $4.4 B (−2.8% on a year ago) - Profit (Aug 2026): $397 M (−67.0% on a year ago) - Operating margin: 15.2% (−0.4 points on a year ago) - ROE: −1%, FY26 - ROIC: 13.8%, against a 3.9% cost of capital: +9.9 points The main question: the share price moved −26.9% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −104.0%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the General Mills share price today? General Mills, Inc.'s share price was $34.08 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been falling for 10 weeks. That is 8.9% below its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $32 and $48, and at that close it sat 13% of the way up from that low. Over the past 13 weeks it has done worse than the S&P 500, and it has been behind for 7 weeks running. Over the last 10 years the share price moved −53% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. It was last ahead over 13 weeks in the week of 18 September 2026. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does General Mills pay? 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 $34.08 that is a yield of 7.16%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is General Mills on? General Mills is on one of our US lists: S&P 500 companies. [S&P 500 companies](https://www.sectoralpha.in/sp-500-stocks) ## Is General Mills profitable? 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. 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. ## How much revenue does General Mills make, and is it growing? 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. 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). ## How much of every $100 of sales does General Mills keep? 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. 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. ## Is General Mills' profit turning into cash? 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. 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. ## Where does General Mills' cash go? 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. 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. ## What is General Mills' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? 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. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −104.0% while the price moved −26.9%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 3 years the price moved −19.7% a year; about −0.3% a year came from earnings growth and about −19.4 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus earnings growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the General Mills business getting better or worse? General Mills, Inc.'s business is getting worse. Revenue, profit and EPS growth are shrinking: revenue growth is −4.5% in the latest quarter, against +4.3% at its best in 12 quarters, with ROCE falling at 11.4%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: falling lines mean any ratio below that looks low should be read with that direction in mind. ## How much does General Mills earn on its capital? General Mills, Inc. earned a ROE of −1% in FY26. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 9.9 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a −0.5% net margin and 0.61× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a −0.5% net margin × 0.61× asset turnover × 4.07× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ −1.2% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 13.8% − 3.9% = +9.9 percentage points. The 3.9% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. A gap this wide means each dollar put back into the business creates more than a dollar of value. The 13.8% ROIC above is the latest reading, as reported. The yearly chart below shows FY26 at −3.3%, and the quarterly chart works out each 12-month window from the quarterly figures, so the readings differ by date, not by method. ## Does General Mills have too much debt? General Mills, Inc. has total debt of $13.6 B against shareholder equity of $7.5 B as of Aug 2026, so its debt is 1.82× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 1.11 in FY22 to 1.89 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the General Mills shareholding pattern? 7.1% of General Mills, Inc.'s tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 3.4 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is General Mills from balance-sheet trouble? For General Mills, Inc., the Z-score is 2.38. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.38 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does General Mills rank in its industry? 45.6 out of 100, rank 16 of 30 in Packaged Foods, with 75% of the evidence available. General Mills, Inc. scores 45.6 out of 100 against the 30 companies it is compared with in Packaged Foods, ranking 16. The evidence is balanced: no factor stands out, so another reported quarter is needed before the picture is clearer. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 11.7 + 15.6 + 11.4 + 6.9 = 45.6. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if profit growth turns negative or margins stop improving while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is General Mills compared with? General Mills ranks 16 of 30 Packaged Foods companies on the 4-Factor Sector Score, with 45.6 out of 100. 1.

They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. PEG is not shown when the ratio cannot mean anything: the company must be making a profit, its price-to-earnings must be positive, and its three-year earnings growth must fall between 5% and 60%. Dividing a price multiple by a loss, or by growth measured off a tiny base, produces a number that looks precise and tells you nothing. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
