10 Recession-Proof Stocks That Will Let You Wait Out the Bear - 3 of 10

 
 

#3 - General Mills (NYSE:GIS)

I give my MarketBeat colleague Thomas Hughes credit for pointing me in the direction of General Mills (NYSE:GIS). In a recent article for MarketBeat, Hughes points out that General Mills delivered a stellar earnings report. But it wasn’t just the numbers the company delivered, it was the guidance. And the company increased its dividend by more than expected.

Analysts will have even more good news to consider since the company updated their forward EPS guidance. The company is now saying that they are projecting EPS to be between $3.94 and $4.06.

GIS stock is up 12% in the year. And with the company’s emphasis on providing the essentials, and brands, that many families crave, the company is well positioned for revenue and earnings growth in the future.
