TMG Industrial Launches Cost-Effective Construction Equipment Line Tailored for Contractors Prioritizing Power and Affordability
TMG Industrial introduces a new construction equipment line—hydraulic breakers, plate compactors, and concrete mixers—priced up to 50% below premium brands. Designed for contractors prioritizing affordability and durability, the machines feature work-ready materials, North American field testing, and core functionality.
United States, April 29, 2025 -- A North American supplier of professional-grade construction and industrial equipment has unveiled a new line of heavy-duty machinery designed to address the growing demand for reliable, budget-friendly solutions in the contracting sector. The launch features hydraulic breakers, plate compactors, and concrete mixers engineered to deliver industry-standard performance at prices up to 50% lower than traditional premium brands. Targeted at small to mid-sized contractors, rural construction businesses, and cost-conscious operators, the line emphasizes core functionality, durability, and value—without the premium costs associated with luxury-tier equipment.
The new products are built to withstand daily use in demanding environments, with materials and designs validated through rigorous North American field testing. Key offerings include a 4–7 Ton Hydraulic Breaker compatible with compact and mid-sized excavators, a Plate Compactor offering 4000 lbs of compaction force for foundational work, and a rugged PTO-powered Concrete Mixer capable of handling gravel, sand, and concrete. Each machine prioritizes ease of operation, simplified maintenance, and compatibility with common job site requirements.
'Our goal isn't to compete with high-end U.S. machines on luxury—it's to offer dependable workhorses that everyday pros can afford,' said Terry H., Product Manager at TMG Industrial. 'These machines are for people who want to get the job done and keep projects profitable.'
The 4–7 Ton Hydraulic Breaker provides clean, consistent braking power for demolition, trenching, and rock excavation, offering contractors a cost-efficient alternative to pricier models. Designed for compatibility with most compact excavators, it reduces downtime with straightforward maintenance and readily available replacement parts. Meanwhile, the Plate Compactor combines portability with high-impact force, making it ideal for driveways, sidewalks, and patch jobs. Its compact design ensures maneuverability in tight spaces, while the 4000-lb compaction force delivers results comparable to heavier, more expensive units.
The Concrete Mixer rounds out the lineup focusing on versatility and durability. Built to handle rugged mixing tasks for foundations, fencing, and pads, its PTO-powered drum ensures consistent blending of materials without reliance on external power sources. This feature is particularly valuable for remote or off-grid job sites, where operational flexibility is critical.
This launch arrives amid rising equipment and material costs across North America, which have squeezed profit margins for contractors. TMG Industrial's strategy focuses on reducing overhead without compromising performance—a balance achieved through streamlined designs, direct-to-consumer pricing, and eliminating non-essential features. Unlike many import brands, TMG Industrial supports its products with localized customer service, one-year warranties, and free shipping to Canada and the lower 48 U.S. states.
The company's emphasis on accessibility extends to its dealer network, which is expanding to meet demand. By offering competitive pricing and reliable equipment, TMG Industrial aims to position itself as a go-to partner for contractors seeking to maximize efficiency and minimize equipment costs.
TMG Industrial's commitment to affordability and durability reflects a broader shift in the construction industry, where practicality increasingly outweighs prestige. By focusing on essential performance metrics and eliminating costly add-ons, the company provides a viable pathway for contractors to maintain profitability in a challenging economic climate.

Sombre Fundamentals Suggest General Mills Stock (GIS) is Stuck in a Value Trap
Not so long ago, General Mills (GIS) stock was synonymous with safety, defensiveness, and stability. The company consistently delivered results in line with market expectations, rewarding shareholders with a generous and growing dividend. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter The snacking category, once an exception among packaged food groups, seemed immune to changing eating habits and the rise of private-label brands. But things have taken a turn for the worse. Cereal and snack bar consumption has declined sharply due to growing structural headwinds, resulting in a contraction of General Mills' business. What remains solid, however, is the company's ability to generate value for shareholders above its cost of capital, which in theory still makes General Mills a defensive stock. Valuations at current levels also look attractive, offering some margin of safety. The problem is that the sustainability of these strengths is in question. When secular headwinds are at play, it doesn't matter much if fundamentals suggest a cushion or if valuations appear cheap—the stock is likely to continue drifting downward over time. That said, I see this as a potential value trap for investors hoping to be heroes with General Mills stock. For that reason, I hold a neutral view on GIS. General Mills Faces Secular Headwinds U.S. consumers have been gradually changing their eating habits—and that's not just an opinion, it's a fact. The packaged foods sector has seen a decline in demand for snacks in recent years. A big part of this comes from the rapid rise in GLP-1 weight loss drugs and a new generation that's increasingly avoiding 'bad foods' in favor of a healthier lifestyle. Recent 2024 data shows that around 12% of American adults report having used a GLP-1 drug, with 6% currently using one. Some studies suggest that GLP-1 users significantly reduce their grocery store purchases by 6%, with a 11% drop in snack sales in the six months following adoption. This shift is already reflected in the financial results of packaged food companies, such as General Mills. Over the past three years, General Mills' revenue has grown at a CAGR of just 1.8%. While operating margins improved at a 4.9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), free cash flow declined at an 8.7% CAGR, which is a concerning trend. In addition to these broad changes in consumer behavior, General Mills has been facing weak U.S. consumption trends due to market share losses in key categories, particularly to private-label brands from retailers such as Costco (COST) and Walmart (WMT). In its most recent earnings report, net sales totaled $4.8 billion, a 5% decline year over year, and fell short of analyst expectations. North American retail sales declined 7%, with a 6% drop in sales volume. Alongside softer demand, temporary pressures also played a role, including lower volumes in snacks and dry pet food. The pet segment declined 3% year over year, while international sales fell 4%, primarily due to foreign exchange headwinds and weaker results in key markets such as China and Brazil. As a result, General Mills revised its guidance for fiscal year 2025. The company now expects organic net sales to decline between 1.5% and 2%, compared to a previous forecast of flat to slightly positive growth (up to 1%). Generating Value Even as Growth Slows While General Mills' stock performance may appear underwhelming—hovering near the same levels it traded at over a decade ago—there are still compelling elements to its investment case. Despite a growth narrative that appears not just stalled but potentially in decline, the company continues to deliver strong returns on invested capital (ROIC). Over the past twelve months, General Mills generated $2.93 billion in NOPAT against $22.9 billion in invested capital, resulting in an ROIC of 12.8%. That figure aligns well with industry peers like Nestlé (NSRGY), Mondelez (MDLZ), and Kellogg's (KLG), and it comfortably exceeds the company's estimated cost of capital, highlighting efficient capital deployment even in a slow-growth environment. Assuming a cost of equity of 7.5% (given GIS's low beta and 10-year Treasury yields around 4.5%), and a 30% debt weighting, General Mills' weighted average cost of capital (WACC) would land around 6.8%. In other words, despite the recent headwinds, the company continues to create value for shareholders and allocate capital efficiently. That shows up in its dividend policy as well. General Mills currently offers a dividend yield of 4.4%, which is almost on par with the risk-free rate, all while maintaining a payout ratio of just 53%. Attractive Price, Questionable Road Ahead Beyond General Mills' ability to generate returns above its cost of capital, the stock also appears attractively priced based on valuation. One particularly useful—and often underappreciated—metric for evaluating mature, capital-intensive companies like those in the consumer packaged goods sector is earnings yield, calculated as operating income divided by enterprise value. Over the past twelve months, General Mills reported $3.6 billion in operating income (EBIT) against an enterprise value of $43.5 billion, resulting in an earnings yield of 8.4%. Compared to a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 6.8%, this positive spread suggests the company is generating real value for shareholders—a potentially encouraging sign for long-term investors. However, the reliability of earnings yield as a valuation signal rests on the assumption that earnings will remain stable or improve. In General Mills' case, that assumption is under strain. The company recently lowered its fiscal 2025 guidance, now forecasting a 7% to 8% decline in adjusted operating profit, nearly twice the size of its earlier projections. In short, while the current valuation offers a degree of margin of safety, the growing uncertainty around future profitability raises meaningful concerns and tempers a more bullish outlook. Is General Mills a Good Stock to Buy? Analyst sentiment on General Mills (GIS) remains mixed. Of the 13 analysts covering the stock, only one holds a bullish rating, ten are neutral, and one is bearish. The consensus stock price target for GIS stock is $57.67, representing an upside of approximately 6.7% over the coming year. GIS Walks Fine Line Between Value and Trap General Mills checks many of the boxes for a classic value investment, consistently generating returns above its cost of capital while trading at what appears to be an attractive valuation. However, the company is contending with mounting structural headwinds—including evolving consumer eating habits, the rise of GLP-1 drugs, shifting retail dynamics, and increased competition from private-label brands. These challenges cast doubt on the long-term sustainability of its value creation, despite current metrics remaining solid. Given these concerns, General Mills currently leans more toward a value trap than a compelling value opportunity.

Airlines divert flights, airspace closed after Israel launches air strikes on Iran
Airlines cleared out of the airspace over Israel, Iran and Iraq and Jordan on Friday after Israel launched attacks on targets in Iran, Flightradar24 data showed, with carriers scrambling to divert and cancel flights to keep passengers and crew safe. Proliferating conflict zones around the world are becoming an increasing burden on airline operations and profitability, and more of a safety concern. Six commercial aircraft have been shot down unintentionally and three nearly missed since 2001, according to aviation risk consultancy Osprey Flight Solutions. 5 Firefighters worked outside of a building that was hit by an Israeli air strike north of Tehran. ABEDIN TAHERKENAREH/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock Israel on Friday said it targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders at the start of what it warned would be a prolonged operation to prevent Tehran from building an atomic weapon. Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport was closed until further notice, and Israel's air defense units stood at high alert for possible retaliatory strikes from Iran. Israeli flag carrier El Al Airlines said it had suspended flights to and from Israel. Iranian airspace has been closed until further notice, according to state media and notices to pilots. As reports of strikes on Iran emerged, a number of commercial flights by airlines including Dubai's Emirates, Lufthansa and Air India were flying over Iran. Air India, which overflies Iran for its Europe and North American flights, said several flights were being diverted or returned to their origin, including ones from New York, Vancouver, Chicago and London. Emirates and Lufthansa did not immediately respond to requests for comment. 5 Residents reacted to damaged residential buildings in Iran's Nobonyad Square following Israeli airstrikes. Majid Saeedi Iraq early on Friday closed its airspace and suspended all traffic at its airports, Iraqi state media reported. Eastern Iraq near the border with Iran contains one of the world's busiest air corridors, with dozens of flights crossing between Europe and the Gulf, many on routes from Asia to Europe, at any one moment. Flights steadily diverted over Central Asia or Saudi Arabia, flight tracking data showed. Jordan, which sits between Israel and Iraq, closed its airspace several hours after the Israeli campaign began. 5 This image grab taken from UGC footage broadcast by Iran TV on June 13, 2025 shows smoke billowing from explosions after Israel announced it had carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites.

SEPAH NEWS/AFP via Getty Images 'The situation is still emerging – operators should use a high degree of caution in the region at this time,' according to Safe Airspace, a website run by OPSGROUP, a membership-based organization that shares flight risk information. Several flights due to land in Dubai were diverted early on Friday. An Emirates flight from Manchester to Dubai was diverted to Istanbul and a flydubai flight from Belgrade diverted to Yerevan, Armenia. Budget carrier flydubai said it had suspended flights to Amman, Beirut, Damascus, Iran and Israel and a number of other flights had been canceled, rerouted or returned to their departure airports. 5 A building in Iran's Nobonyad Square is shown having suffered significant damage from Israeli airstrikes. Majid Saeedi Qatar Airways canceled its two scheduled flights to Damascus on Friday, Flightradar24 data shows. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Middle East since October 2023 led to commercial aviation sharing the skies with short-notice barrages of drones and missiles across major flight paths – some of which were reportedly close enough to be seen by pilots and passengers. Airspace in the Middle East last year was crossed daily by 1,400 flights to and from Europe, Eurocontrol data show. Last year, planes were shot down by weaponry in Kazakhstan and in Sudan. These incidents followed the high-profile downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 over eastern Ukraine in 2014 and of Ukraine International Airlines flight PS752 en route from Tehran in 2020.

Starbucks makes big change that should improve your experience
If one wants a harmonious business, the happiness of those helping run it should be prioritized. Starbucks has devised a solution to accomplish just that. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter The coffee chain's new strategy follows its struggles with continuous sales declines and slower store traffic over the last few quarters. To return business to growth, Starbucks developed the "Back to Starbucks" turnaround plan, which included optimizing operations, prioritizing coffee quality, and simplifying its menu. Related: Starbucks faces huge new rival In the last several months, Starbucks (SBUX) reintroduced condiment bars and ceramic mugs for in-house sipping, brought back handwritten notes on to-go cups and bags to foster better customer connections, and returned the free in-café refills to make its coffee shops feel more like homes. To increase efficiency, the coffee giant also refreshed its menu with a simpler version, discontinuing 13 items and eliminating extra charges for milk alternatives. Starbucks has even gone beyond tweaking the store experience and menu. The chain will close underperforming shops to invest in building new locations and revamping old ones, encouraging customers to stay longer. And just last month, Starbucks implemented a new dress code for its baristas across all North American stores to enhance its iconic green apron, marking its first update in nearly a decade. Now, the coffee giant is making another change regarding its baristas, and this one requires a significant investment. Image Source:Starbucks is expanding its workforce by adding at least one full-time assistant store manager to most company-operated stores nationwide beginning this fall. This move aims to streamline the operation of its stores and improve the overall customer experience by providing staff with the support and help they need, ensuring a consistent leadership presence during operating hours. Related: Starbucks makes major change in rewards program loyal fans will hate Although anyone may apply for the full-time assistant store manager role, Starbucks wants to encourage its employees to put their best foot forward by supporting career growth and hiring 90% of the new leadership roles internally. Currently, approximately 20% of Starbucks stores have an assistant store manager, with most being short-term. More Retail News: Walmart makes deal to open popular food chain in storesAfter bankruptcy, closed clothing chain hints at comebackFast-food burger chain closing hundreds of stores adds new deal The hiring process will be multiphased, with the first phase happening this September across six Starbucks districts. This initial step will help the company test the initiative and eventually have a full-time assistant store manager in most of its company-operated coffee shops by 2026. Canada will be the next region to follow this process, beginning in summer 2026. Although increasing its workforce is a huge investment, Starbucks says the move will bring the company closer to accomplishing its turnaround strategy goals.
