General Mills Q1 Earnings Preview: Wall Street Braces for Declining Metrics
General Mills prepares to report Q1 earnings amid softening Wall Street expectations. Analysts project $0.82 EPS (down from $1.07 YoY) and $4.52B revenue (down from $4.85B) as the Cheerios Maker faces volume contraction and pricing pressures. The stock's ability to beat estimates - a historical strength - faces scrutiny after Q4's revenue miss despite an EPS surprise.
Investor sentiment remains cautious following FY2025 guidance of $4.21 adjusted EPS and $19.49B revenue, reflecting broader challenges in packaged foods. The earnings call will likely address persistent inflation impacts and market share dynamics in the competitive breakfast category.
