Comment: General Mills delivered third quarter revenue of US$4.84bn missing estimates, partly due to unexpected inventory reductions by retailers, though adjusted EPS of US$1 beat forecasts. The company lowered its full year sales and profit outlook due to weak demand for salty snacks and pet food, intensified by competition from private-label brands. It now expects organic sales to decline 1.5% to 2% and adjusted profit to drop 7% to 8%. The company plans at least US$100mn in cost savings for fiscal 2026.
