"Yeah, so the first thing I'm looking at today is General Mills, ticker GIS. So shares are up about 1 and a.5% right now. So this is off highs of the day. But um so what happened is the company reported sales that beat Wall Street expectations uh really signaling that a strategy to improve packaging and marketing while lowering prices is paying off. Um the company also made some comments about economically strained consumers. So basically they said that they're seeing those consumers making more purchases on sale than at regular prices. Uh they also reported that there's been an increase in cooking at home among value shoppers. So it's pushed some of the sales to things like Betty Crocker, you know, the things that you make at home versus, you know, maybe Cheerios."

The commentary outlines that General Mills (GIS) beat sales expectations thanks to improved packaging and marketing strategies alongside pricing adjustments. The speaker notes that consumer behavior is shifting, with more purchases occurring on sale and an increase in home cooking among value shoppers.
