General Mills, Inc. (GIS)

Executive Summary

We at T&T Capital Management are initiating coverage on General Mills, Inc. (NYSE: GIS) with a constructive long view. GIS is the cleanest example we can find in the U.S. consumer staples complex of a high-quality, durable cash compounder that has been thrown out with the bathwater. The shares closed at $33.21 on May 21, 2026, within 2% of a 52-week low of $32.64 and roughly 40% below the $55 print of June 2024. The dividend yields a touch over 7% — the highest in over two decades for this company — and represents the highest yield among all S&P 500 packaged food peers. In our view, the market has decisively priced GIS as a melting ice cube. The current trailing P/E of ~8x compares to a five-year average near 15x, a ten-year average above 16x, and a long-run average closer to 17x.
