General Mills (GIS) stock slipped on Wednesday following the release of its Fiscal Q4 2025 earnings report. The bad news came from its revenue of $4.56 billion, which missed Wall Street’s estimate of $4.59 billion. It was also down 3% year-over-year from $4.71 billion. This was “driven by lower pound volume and unfavorable net price realization and mix.”
