Come gli analisti valutano General Mills prima dei risultati del Q1

General Mills Inc

BofA Securities analysts Bryan D. Spillane, Lisa K. Lewandowski and Peter T. Galbo have put forward on Tuesday their research findings on consumer staple companies in the face of a potential recession.
The analysts said consumer staples have historically outperformed the S&amp;P 500 in most recent recessions, suggesting a defensive edge.
However, the analysts warned that current conditions, such as lingering high prices and weak volume growth, may limit their resilience in a future downturn.

Still, their limited exposure to new tariffs could make the sector more appealing than others, potentially helping sustain valuation multiples.
During recessions, the Consumer Staples sector stock prices are primarily influenced by earnings per share (EPS) rather than sales growth.
Analysis shows that forward EPS estimates account for over 90% of stock price movement across key subsectors like Beverages, Household &amp; Personal Care (HPC), Packaged Food, and Tobacco, with the correlation being the tightest Beverages and HPC.
The analysts noted that this highlights the critical importance of earnings strength when evaluating stock performance in uncertain economic conditions.
A review of six past recessions reveals that certain Consumer Staples stocks consistently outperformed the S&amp;P 500.
Campbell Soup Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPB#NYSE">CPB</a>), Colgate-Palmolive Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CL#NYSE">CL</a>), General Mills Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>), McCormick &amp; Co.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>), and Hormel Foods Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HRL#NYSE">HRL</a>) each posted a 100% success rate in outperforming the index during those downturns.
In the last four recessions with the most comprehensive data, McCormick, General Mills, and Church &amp; Dwight Co. Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHD#NYSE">CHD</a>) delivered the strongest relative performance.
Top-performing Consumer Staples stocks in a potential downturn will likely share three traits: profit flexibility to offset revenue pressure and rising costs, strong U.S. manufacturing presence to limit tariff-related inflation, and solid balance sheets capable of sustaining share buybacks to boost earnings per share.
Analysts see McCormick, Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KO#NYSE">KO</a>) and Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PM#NYSE">PM</a>) as well-defended, with Keurig Dr Pepper Inc.

Shares of consumer staples stocks are trading higher as tariffs uncertainty may be driving a shift towards defensive stocks.

Goldman Sachs analyst Bonnie Herzog analyzed the pet food offerings to understand the category more. The following are the comments published on Thursday regarding the same.
The U.S. consumer is becoming more cautious due to concerns about inflation, tariffs, and geopolitical uncertainty, impacting the broader staples sector, said the analyst.
While consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies face short-term pressure, an analysis of the pet food market suggests that premium offerings from Colgate-Palmolive Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CL#NYSE">CL</a>) and General Mills Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>) are likely to remain resilient.
These high-end products could support growth and help offset weaker demand in other areas, noted the analyst.
The analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CL/analyst-ratings">reiterated a Buy rating</a> on the shares of Colgate-Palmolive with a price forecast of $106.00. The Hill&#8217;s Pet Nutrition division is expected to be a key driver of sustained mid-single-digit organic sales growth, fueled by category expansion and market share gains.

The global premium pet food market is projected to grow at around 5% through 2030, with balanced contributions from volume and pricing.
While dry dog food growth is expected to moderate, wet dog food is gaining traction. Cat food, both dry and wet, is anticipated to see stronger growth due to increasing consumption.
Despite an overall slowdown in category growth, Colgate is well-positioned to outperform the market, said the analyst.
The company&#8217;s focus on innovation such as Hill&#8217;s Prescription Diet z/d Low Fat and new wet cat food flavors along with above-average advertising spend and expanded production capacity, is set to drive household penetration beyond its current 6% in the U.S.
With solid revenue growth and productivity improvements, Colgate is expected to see continued margin expansion, supporting strong earnings.
The analyst reiterated a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GIS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buy rating on General Mills</a> with a price forecast of $68.00. The company sees its pet food business as a key catalyst for returning to 2% &#8211; 3% organic sales growth by fiscal 2027, with fiscal 2026 focused on reinvestment.
Premium pet food, benefiting from the increasing humanization of pets, is expected to drive mid-single-digit category growth, with contributions from both pricing and volume, noted the analyst.
GIS has historically expanded market share through acquisitions, and its recent Whitebridge purchase is expected to follow suit.
With a strong presence in pet specialty and e-commerce but low household penetration, the brand offers a significant growth runway, particularly in the high-growth cat food segment.
Despite competition from private labels, GIS&#8217;s premium positioning has supported sales acceleration and market share stability, opined the analyst.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Earnings Scheduled For March 19, 2025

Barclays analyst Andrew Lazar maintains General Mills (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>) with a Equal-Weight and lowers the price target from $68 to $65.

Barclays Maintains Equal-Weight on General Mills, Lowers Price Target to $65

General Mills, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GIS#NYSE">GIS</a>) will release its third-quarter financial results, before the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GIS/earnings">opening bell, on Wednesday, March 19.</a>
Analysts expect the company to report quarterly earnings at 96 cents per share, down from $1.17 per share in the year-ago period. General Mills projects quarterly revenue of $4.95 billion, compared to $5.1 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
With the recent buzz around General Mills, some investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends, too. Currently, General Mills offers an annual dividend yield of 3.94%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend of 60 cents per share ($2.40 a year).  
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $152,350 or around 2,500 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $30,470 or around 500 shares.
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($2.40 in this case). So, $6,000 / $2.40 = 2,500 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $2.40 = 500 shares ($100 per month).
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock&#8217;s current price.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
Price Action: Shares of General Mills gained 2.3% to close at $60.94 on Monday.
