According to reports, Barclays has lowered its price target for General Mills to $36.00 while maintaining its current rating for the company. The reduction is attributed to ongoing share price pressure, with the stock recently trading around the $34.13 level. This adjustment reflects the bank's view of the challenges the company faces in maintaining price momentum under current market conditions.
