General Mills Inc. (GIS) — RQD Stock Rating Cockpit

Per the Roarable RQD rating, GIS scores 52 out of 100, grade D+, labeled "Roarable Sell — Weak Fundamentals / Trim." The five pillars are: Fundamental Cash Engine at 12/20 (ROIC 3.8%; FCF yield 9.13%), Whale 13F Flow at 7/20 (institutional accumulation and options positioning), Insider Conviction at 14/20 (SEC Form 4 and Congressional PTR cluster flow), Macro Regime Fit at 9/20 (Beta 0.87; sector sensitivity), and Forensic Balance Sheet at 10/20 (Altman Z 1.99; Piotroski F 4/9; Debt/Equity 1.05).

For a prospective investor, the pillar profile points to a stock whose main support is cash generation and a defensive beta, while its weakest areas are institutional flow and balance sheet quality. The 9.13% FCF yield and the 7.38% dividend yield are the primary upside-side features cited in the source data. Against that, ROIC of 3.8% is low, the Piotroski F-Score of 4/9 is weak, and the Altman Z of 1.99 sits in a range the source does not further classify. The forward P/E of 26 and EV/EBITDA of 20 indicate that the valuation tradeoff is not obviously cheap relative to the cash metrics. The rating's verdict reflects the balance of these factors and is a model output, not a recommendation.
