Frequently asked questions
What is General Mills Inc's revenue?
General Mills Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $18.42B, and consensus projects about $18.92B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is GIS?
In its most recent fiscal year, GIS ran a gross margin of 33.49%, an operating margin of 15.06%, and a net margin of -0.48%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does GIS generate?
GIS produced $1.63B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is GIS's balance sheet healthy?
GIS holds $453.80M in cash and equivalents against $12.42B in long-term debt, on $7.37B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
