    General Mills Reaffirms FY Guidance as International Profit Rises 14%

    Direct answer

    General Mills' fiscal Q1 results demonstrated stability following the strategic divestiture of its yogurt business. While headline sales contracted 3% due to portfolio adjustments and flat organic volume in North America, international profit growth (+14%) provided support.
