Stock price when the opinion was issued
Owns shares in company and likes prospects of business. Under performance of company not a concern. Emerging markets will present opportunity for growth. Inflation has made for tough times on the bottom line. Would recommend investors to be patient. Expecting positive changes in company with new activist investors.
Lots of activist pressure. Big and bulky, not growing in line with peers. Needs to improve efficiencies to boost profitability, possibly by breaking up or selling off divisions. Potential for earnings growth and multiple expansion, but you have to be patient. His preference on valuation.
