Daily Earnings: GIS and STZ alter physical products to force sales | Jul 1

Consumer staples giants like General Mills (GIS) and Constellation Brands (STZ) are actively abandoning traditional marketing playbooks and tearing down their operations because exhausted shoppers strictly refuse to pay full price for standard items anymore. • General Mills is physically reformulating basics like mac and cheese to force engagement.• Constellation is absorbing immediate margin compression to pre-staff empty factories ahead of ad blitzes.• Multi-billion-dollar paper divestitures at both companies masked deep adjusted margin resilience from headline algorithms.These immediate structural overhauls prove that relying on passive premium price hikes is officially a dead strategy.
