General Mills Posts Disappointing Quarter Amid Slower Demand
General Mills reports a 9 percent drop in profit and 7 percent fall in sales for the September to November quarter, lowering its outlook for the second half.

Jeff Harmening says a slight second-half pickup is likely with further gains by fiscal 2018.
