Analysis

Bargain bin

General Mills, Inc. falls in the bargain bin: the price is low relative to peers, but the business metrics give reason to pause.

The price is attractive. You pay 8.1× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically attractive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly -6% yearly growth; analysts expect -9%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

The trajectory is weak and the balance sheet is fragile. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value.

What to watch: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
