General Mills (GIS) reported strong quarterly results and plans a significant restructuring aimed at cutting $3 billion in costs through 2030. However, the company is confronting challenges in the packaged goods sector, including competition from GLP-1 drugs, increasing production costs, and a generational shift in consumer preferences towards ingredient transparency. Experts highlight the weak technical patterns of the stock, with a concerning forecast of an 8% decline in earnings over the next few years. While some see the potential for long-term recovery and value in the stock with its decent dividend, others refer to GIS as being in a value trap, indicating it could remain undervalued for an extended period. The overall sentiment varies, with recognition of both temporary inflation pressures in the food industry and the long-term implications of changing consumer tastes.

PARTIAL BUY

Up 29% this year. They report Tuesday. They've gotten away with global price increases, because they have the best brands, including pet food. Even reporting a great number, he doesn't know how much more it can rally. But the market is getting oversold, so GIS can still work.

BUY

It reports Wednesday. If FedEx is correct about a global recession, consumers will hunker down and so GIS will benefit.

BUY

Reported a winning quarter today. Organic net sales jumped, operating profit up 85%, and announced a 6% dividend boost. They re-shuffled their portfolio to emphasize high-end pet food (up 22%) and food service (25%). Shares jumped 6% to a new high today, but would've gone higher if not for market negativity.

A pantry stock. Is it still on a bear run as vaccincations pick up? He thinks the stock will be tepid. Then again, Smucker's surprised to the upside and he likes Hormel a lot. GIS reports Wednesday.

BUY

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A consumer defensive name just reported a great quarter and raised its dividend to 3.5%. These days he's buying big tech that's 25% off its highs and defensives that pay over a 3% dividend. It's come down from $66 to $57, which is a buying opportunity.

BUY

A good name, but defensives have been tough to own because investors want momentum stocks. They report Wednesday.

Reports Wednesday morning. A household name, but defensives have been tough to own lately. Investors find tech names sexy, but defensives. Pays a 3.4% yield and is growing faster than other consumer packaged goods names.
