Gear Up for General Mills (GIS) Q4 Earnings: Wall Street Estimates for Key Metrics
Read MoreHide Full Article
Wall Street analysts expect General Mills (GIS - Free Report) to post quarterly earnings of $0.99 per share in its upcoming report, which indicates a year-over-year decline of 11.6%. Revenues are expected to be $4.87 billion, down 3.1% from the year-ago quarter.
The current level reflects a downward revision of 1.2% in the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter over the past 30 days. This demonstrates how the analysts covering the stock have collectively reappraised their initial projections over this period.
Before a company announces its earnings, it is essential to take into account any changes made to earnings estimates. This is a valuable factor in predicting the potential reactions of investors toward the stock. Empirical research has consistently shown a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and the short-term price performance of a stock.
While it's common for investors to rely on consensus earnings and revenue estimates for assessing how the business may have performed during the quarter, exploring analysts' forecasts for key metrics can yield valuable insights.
