General Mills (GIS) is facing several challenges in the current market environment, with a notable concern from analysts regarding the company's declining earnings and lack of growth potential. Younger generations are becoming increasingly conscious of the ingredients in their food, which may impede GIS's long-term revenue prospects. Technical analysis indicates a weak stock performance, with the price below the falling 200-day moving average. The inflationary pressures, particularly in food preparation costs due to factors like rising fertilizer prices linked to geopolitical issues, are contributing to margin compression, leading to sacrifices in pricing. While some analysts believe the stock has long-term potential and offers decent dividends, the prevailing sentiment is cautious, with chatter about a possible value trap and the overall consumer packaged goods sector being less favorable at this time.

COST

BUY

They made a fine acquisition, and the CEO is doing his job.

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.

BUY

A quality slowdown stock that has been putting up great numbers. They report Wednesday.

BUY

There's strong demand for breakfast cereals, bacon and pet food.

BUY

They report Tuesday. Has great franchises, like stay-at-home cereals. The perfect stock for the moment.

WATCH

Many are worried that inflation (freight, boxes) is hitting them. A government report about corn production could slam commodities, but benefit General Mills. Also, they make a leading dog food. They report Wednesday.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

They reported a super quarter this morning, but managers warned that growth may decline during the reopening. GIS shares fell 4.2% today. Buy this on dips.

COMMENT

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

He expects their report to be better-received than Campbell's recently. Baking remains big during lockdowns, which is a tailwind. However, their packaged goods will lose some of their shine as vaccines appear.

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.

BUY

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.

SELL

People don’t eat cereal as much. They kind of mismanaged their portfolio. It is reliable poor. You want the opposite. Low growth rates. Trying to buy investor’s confidence with higher dividend payouts. Don’t rationalize poorness. Move to something that has some growth.
