General Mills has lowered its fiscal 2026 sales forecast due to weakened consumer demand, attributing it to inflation, reduced food assistance, geopolitical uncertainties, and the emerging impact of GLP-1 weight loss drugs. The company CEO noted that GLP-1 trends are leading to consumer shifts towards smaller portions and more nutrient-dense foods, prompting General Mills to re-evaluate its product mix and long-term strategy. Despite short-term momentum, the company faces challenges with declining share prices and analysts monitoring how it adapts its portfolio to these evolving consumer patterns.
