General Mills

GIS

Market cap $25.3B

General Mills (GIS) remains a Buy after a 25% decline, despite ongoing volume challenges, due to its portfolio-balancing benefits and defensive qualities. GIS faces persistent organic topline declines, margin pressure, and risks from changing consumer trends, but management guides for flat sales and continued strong free cash flow conversion in FY 2026. The stock offers a historically high 5.2% dividend yield, well-covered by free cash flow, and trades at a 20-year low 12x adjusted P/E, limiting further downside.

General Mills is rated a Strong Buy due to its defensive qualities, high 5%+ dividend yield, and attractive valuation ahead of a potential recession. GIS has a proven track record of outperforming during past recessions and bear markets, benefiting from flight-to-safety capital flows. A 10-year low enterprise valuation and strong free cash flow yield are attention grabbers from this U.S. consumer staple blue chip.
