Engine urges UniFirst's independent directors to form a special committee and force a sale — the Croatti family's rejection of four Cintas bids has already cost shareholders ~$1.3B.
Pure Storage, Inc. PSTG
Pure Storage's hyperscaler dream is hype: HDDs dominate at 5-6x TCO advantage, the Meta deal is replicable, and Pure deserves a peer multiple, implying ~55% downside to $35.

Kao's world-class beauty brands are squandered by an insular Japanese board; adding five global FMCG outside directors and performance-linked pay can close the gap to L'Oreal and Beiersdorf.

Amcor plc (pro forma Amcor-Berry Global combination) AMCR

Kao Corporation 4452
Kao is a sleeping FMCG giant whose under-ambition, inefficiency, and lack of focus have destroyed EVA; adding five independent directors with FMCG operating experience can unlock peer-level returns.
Nebius Group NBIS

News Corporation NWSA
Starboard urges News Corp shareholders to vote to collapse the dual-class structure that gives the Murdoch family 41% voting power on only 14% economic ownership.
Lumen Technologies LUMN
