General Mills' stock plunged over 7% following the company's lowered sales forecast for 2026, now projecting a 1.5% to 2% decline due to weak consumer demand. This adjustment signals potential challenges, as the company is on track for its third consecutive year of sales decreases, with expectations for adjusted earnings per share to drop between 16% and 20%. Despite a longstanding history of consistent dividend payments, investors are increasingly concerned about the company's financial stability and are responding to the bleak outlook.
