General Mills Inc. exceeded expectations in its second-quarter fiscal 2026 earnings, reporting $1.10 per share, a 7.1% increase over analysts’ consensus estimates. Net sales of $4.86 billion also surpassed projections, closing up more than 3% on the announcement despite a challenging year with overall shares down more than 26%. The company’s strong execution in pricing strategies across much of its North America retail portfolio has aided its performance, but sales are still down 7.2% year-on-year.
