The provided data indicates that General Mills Inc. has a debt-to-equity ratio of zero across all the listed dates—May 28, 2023; May 31, 2023; May 26, 2024; May 31, 2024; and May 31, 2025. This consistent measurement suggests that the company has not reported any debt relative to its equity during this time frame. In financial analysis, a debt-to-equity ratio of zero typically implies that the company has financed its operations entirely through equity, with no reliance on debt instruments such as loans or bonds. This positioning indicates a highly conservative capital structure, reducing financial leverage and associated risks. However, it also suggests that the company might not be utilizing debt to potentially enhance returns on equity, and the absence of debt could impact the company's potential growth strategies and flexibility in funding future investments.
