Earnings Preview: General Mills (GIS) Q4 Earnings Expected to Decline
Wall Street expects a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when General Mills (GIS) reports results for the quarter ended May 2025. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company's earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates. The earnings report, which is expected to be released on June 25, 2025, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower. While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call, it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise. This maker of Cheerios cereal, Yoplait yogurt and other packaged foods is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.71 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -29.7%. Revenues are expected to be $4.6 billion, down 2.4% from the year-ago quarter. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 0.44% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period. Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change. Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction). The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier. Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only. A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP. Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell). For General Mills, the Most Accurate Estimate is higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of +0.80%. On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #4. So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that General Mills will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Analysts often consider to what extent a company has been able to match consensus estimates in the past while calculating their estimates for its future earnings. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number. For the last reported quarter, it was expected that General Mills would post earnings of $0.95 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1, delivering a surprise of +5.26%. Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates four times. An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss. That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported. General Mills doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

Giant Humpty Dumpty sculpture appears on wall in central London after 'great fall'
A colossal Humpty Dumpty sculpture has made a surprise appearance atop a wall in central London, and it appears he's been mended. The nursery rhyme character, standing at two-and-a-half metres tall and fully bandaged, seems to have received help from all the king's horses and all the king's men. The installation, which took 28 days to handcraft and weighs over 85 kilos, is perched on a wall in Potter's Field. This follows a study by Yoplait, the creators of Petits Filous, revealing that while nine out of 10 parents believe they understand their child's nutritional needs, they question whether they are fulfilling them. The survey of 2,000 parents with children aged four to 10 found that 58% frequently worry about providing the right nutrition for their little ones, despite claiming to have good knowledge. The research highlighted this confusion, with 28% uncertain about sugar content in food, 25% unclear on what constitutes a 'balanced diet', and 24% finding it difficult to identify signs of nutrient deficiencies. Furthermore, 34% blame ambiguous food labels, while 29% feel they lack access to necessary expert advice. Yoplait reports that calcium intake has significantly decreased over the past decade, and nearly 20% of children aged four to 10 are deficient in vitamin D each spring, putting their long-term bone health at serious risk. However, many parents mistakenly view this as a future issue, missing the chance to strengthen their children's bones while they're still growing. Still in progress, the brand has joined forces with popular children's author and father-of-three Tom Fletcher to kickstart a nationwide campaign addressing the overlooked issue of calcium and vitamin D deficiency in children. The initiative begins with a fresh take on the nursery rhyme character Humpty Dumpty. Once a symbol of vulnerability, Humpty Dumpty is now reimagined as resilient, emphasising the significance of calcium and vitamin D in fostering healthy bone development from a young age. Tom Fletcher commented: "As a parent, I know how easy it is to get caught up in the chaos of daily life - and nutrition can sometimes take a back seat. But what people don't realise is that calcium and vitamin D deficiency in children is quite common. If kids don't get enough during their crucial growing years, it can have a lasting impact on their bone health. The great news is that it's easy to make a difference. "Something as simple as adding a fortified yoghurt to their daily routine can give them the calcium and vitamin D they need to build healthy bones. I loved reimagining the Humpty Dumpty rhyme for this campaign - it's such a lovely and playful way to deliver a serious message. Humpty's great fall is the perfect reminder of what can happen when we don't build our kids up properly from the inside out." The research indicates that a significant part of the crisis stems from confusion due to social media myths, changing trends, and conflicting health advice, which are leading parents away from reliable sources of nutrition. Almost three in 10 individuals steer clear of yoghurt due to worries about sugar or artificial sweeteners, often fuelled by online misinformation. While 53% recognise brittle bones, delayed growth (40%), and rickets (40%) as signs of calcium or vitamin D deficiency, this knowledge doesn't always lead to proactive measures. The study also revealed that 31% find it challenging to ensure their children consume enough nutrient-dense foods. Additionally, 22% are unsure about the required nutrient intake for their child, and an equal percentage have never heard of food fortification. In collaboration with Yoplait, which has partnered with Mumsnet and the National Schools Partnership to raise awareness among thousands of families at home and in schools, dietitian Dr Carrie Ruxton stated: "Many parents still underestimate the value of simple foods like fortified yoghurts, which are packed with the nutrients kids need. "There's been a trend towards parents swapping out yoghurts for less nutritious options like biscuits or unfortified snacks but this would have the effect of limiting the essential nutrients that children need for growth and development. "Antoine Hours, a representative from the brand, added: "Parents are navigating conflicting advice about nutrition, leaving them often uncertain about whether their children are getting the right nutrients. Small dietary changes, like adding calcium-rich foods such as fortified yoghurt, can have a significant impact. "Humpty Dumpty is well-known as a symbol of fragility. With Tom Fletcher's updated version of the story, he serves as the perfect icon to remind parents and children alike of the importance of nutrition in growing up strong and resilient." Dr. Carrie Ruxton lists some rapid tips for fostering healthier bones among youngsters: Strive to provide children with 2-3 servings of dairy per day for optimal calcium and healthy protein intake, incorporating items such as milk, fortified yoghurts, and cheese either as snacks or within their meals. Review food packaging for calcium and vitamin D levels and embrace foods that are 'fortified'. Encourage outdoor playtime for a natural source of vitamin D and don't forget to apply sunscreen in the summertime. Activities like jumping and running can enhance bone density, aiding in the development of more durable bones in your child. Ensure children take a daily vitamin D supplement as advised by health experts. Consult with your pharmacist if you have questions about the correct dosage or product options.

More info McFly's Tom Fletcher has opened up about his Strictly Come Dancing experience, praising his dance partner Amy Dowden. The 39-year-old pop star is currently championing a campaign to raise awareness of the declining bone strength and physical fitness in UK children, including a rise in conditions like rickets. In collaboration with Yoplait, the company behind Petits Filous and Frubes, Tom has helped reimagine the classic character Humpty Dumpty as a beacon of strength and resilience. While discussing the positive impact Yoplait has had on his family, including his wife Giovanna and their three children, Tom also reflected on his career achievements and personal health. (Image: (Image: Joe Pepler / SWNS)) During an exclusive chat with Daily Express, he reminisced about his 2021 stint on Strictly, saying: "I had a brilliant time! I mean, physically, it's the best shape I've been in my life. I wish I could go back! "I mean dancing every single day for months, it's a challenging work out on your body. I had a whole new respect for anyone who is a professional dancer, their bodies go through a lot." He continued to express his fondness for his dance partner, stating: "But I had an amazing partner, Amy Dowden, she was incredible and we had a brilliant friendship and were still very good friends, we talk all time." (Image: (Image: BBC)) Tom's dedication to BBC's Strictly was clear, even when he and his dance partner Amy had to take a break from the show in week two after testing positive for Covid, reports the Express. Despite this hiccup, Tom returned with a bang during Musicals Week, delivering an unforgettable performance inspired by Les Misérables. (Image: BBC) However, Tom's Strictly journey came to an end as he became the eighth celebrity to be eliminated after a dance-off against CBBC presenter Rhys Stephenson. Reflecting on his time on the show, Tom expressed his appreciation, stating: "When you're doing it for someone, you don't want to let them down." With all other McFly members having won reality shows, Tom joked about "letting the side down" but also shared that he feels fortunate for the television opportunities they've all enjoyed.
