General Mills stock closed at USD 36.32 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 18, 2026, down 0.93 percent from the prior session according to MarketBeat data for that date.

September 18, 2026 in numbers
General Mills Inc. (ISIN US3703391032, NYSE: GIS) ended trading on September 18, 2026 at USD 36.32, with MarketBeat’s session snapshot indicating that the shares were flanked by a 52-week high of USD 51.33 and a 52-week low of USD 31.75 based on data through September 19, 2026. Per the same MarketBeat overview, the 36.32 close at 15:59 Eastern on September 18, 2026 represented a 0.93 percent decline for the day, placing the stock roughly USD 4.57 above its 52-week low and about USD 15.01 below its 52-week high. The year-to-date decline of about 21.9 percent from USD 46.53 at the beginning of 2026, as highlighted in a wrap carried by ad-hoc-news, shows the shares lagging their own starting point even as they remain above the recent floor.
The same ad-hoc-news summary, citing MarketBeat data, noted that General Mills’ price and yield profile set the stage for the latest session, with the dividend yield standing out in the consumer staples segment even as the stock traded well below its 52-week high. While detailed intraday range and volume figures for September 18, 2026 were not broken out in that wrap, the confirmed close of USD 36.32 and the quantified gap to both the year-start level and the 52-week boundaries give a clear sense of where the stock is positioned heading into today’s trade. Against this backdrop, investors gauged General Mills’ performance relative to broader equity benchmarks that were navigating their own moves into late September, although specific same-day index closes were not singled out in the available coverage.
Fiscal 2027 Q1 results due today
Looking ahead, several earnings calendars, as summarized by ad-hoc-news, indicate that General Mills is scheduled to report its fiscal 2027 first-quarter results before the market open on September 23, 2026, a date that is set to refocus attention on the company’s earnings power and dividend sustainability. In addition, an earnings preview on Zacks lists General Mills with an Earnings Surprise Prediction figure ahead of its upcoming release, underscoring that analysts are actively recalibrating expectations into the print. Broader market coverage from Yahoo Finance also flags General Mills among companies in focus around September 23, 2026, tying its earnings date into a wider discussion of US index futures and corporate catalysts. As today’s session approaches, the confirmed softness in the stock’s recent performance and its distance from the 52-week high frame how traders may weigh the upcoming fiscal 2027 first-quarter numbers and any guidance commentary when they are released later this week.
