General Mills Earnings Top Expectations But CEO Warns Of 'K-Shaped' Bifurcation
General Mills reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings. Organic revenue fell 1% in the fiscal second quarter, much less than the Bloomberg Consensus estimate of -2.53%, while volumes remained flat after an 8% plunge in the first quarter.
