General Mills stock opened at USD 35.54 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, while the shares remained within a 52-week range of USD 31.75 to USD 51.33. The next earnings report is scheduled for Wednesday before the bell, according to Yahoo Finance on September 22, 2026.

Estimates point to lower earnings

TradingView reported on September 22, 2026, that analysts estimate quarterly revenue of USD 4.35 billion and earnings per share of USD 0.72. The revenue estimate is below the USD 4.61 billion reported for the comparable latest quarter, a difference of USD 260 million, while the estimated EPS is below the previously reported USD 0.95.

The comparison matters because General Mills delivered revenue growth of 1.2 percent in the latest reported quarter, but the forecast EPS of USD 0.72 would represent a decline of USD 0.23 from USD 0.95. The figures point to profitability as the central test for the upcoming report.

Latest results provide a benchmark

According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, General Mills reported USD 0.95 EPS and USD 4.61 billion in revenue for the quarter reported on July 1, 2026. EPS exceeded consensus of USD 0.80 by USD 0.15, while revenue was above the USD 4.59 billion estimate by USD 20 million.

The same report states that fiscal 2027 guidance calls for EPS of USD 3.00 to USD 3.20, against an analyst average of USD 3.06. That range gives investors a concrete yardstick for the next update, particularly if the new quarter changes expectations for the full fiscal year.

Stock stays near the lower range

General Mills had a market capitalization of USD 19.00 billion on September 22, 2026, according to the same market snapshot. At the opening price of USD 35.54, the stock stood USD 15.79 below its 52-week high and USD 3.79 above its 52-week low, placing it 30.8 percent below the high and 11.9 percent above the low.

For investors, the upcoming revenue and EPS figures will show whether the 1.2 percent prior-year revenue increase can continue while earnings remain aligned with the fiscal 2027 guidance range. The next dated checkpoint is the earnings release before the bell on the scheduled reporting date.
