Motley Fool: Slow growth and a fat dividend - Sun, 08 Feb 2026 PST
General Mills (NYSE: GIS) – home to Cheerios, Nature Valley, Old El Paso, Pillsbury and Betty Crocker – has been in a slump, like many consumer staples companies. Part of the reason its shares have tumbled is that the ready-to-eat cereal market, where it’s a dominant player, isn’t a high-growth segment. Plus, consumer tastes are shifting; today’s on-the-go families aren’t as cereal-devoted as were their predecessors.
