General Mills Inc. raises 2013 earnings guidance

General Mills on Monday raised its full-year earnings guidance by a penny or two per share.

The Golden Valley-based packaged-foods company said it expects fiscal 2013 earnings of $2.68 to $2.69 per share, up from the previous guidance of $2.66 to $2.68 per share. General Mills' fiscal year ended May 26, and the company expects to report fourth-quarter and full-year results on June 26.

General Mills raised its guidance in conjunction with remarks its executives are scheduled to make at the Deutsche Bank Global Consumer Conference in Paris this week. The guidance revision was announced after markets closed on Monday.
