Cars.com Inc. CARS
Starboard, a ~10% holder, warns Cars.com's board that serial guide-downs must end with credible 2019-2021 targets, a third independent director, and — absent improvement — management change or a sale.
Campbell Soup Company CPB
Campbell's incumbent board delivered 19% TSR vs 306% S&P over 20 years; replace the entire board with Third Point's Independent Slate to unlock $52-58/share via turnaround, breakup, or sale.
Nestlé S.A. NESN
Nestlé has been too slow to adapt to a changing consumer industry; adopting a #NestléNOW mindset — sharper strategy, bolder portfolio divestitures including the L'Oréal stake, and a three-division split — can double EPS by 2022.
Xerox Corporation XRX
Xerox's CEO is handing 50.1% control to Fuji 'without spending a penny' for ~$28/share; vote down the deal and replace the board to unlock $54-$64 standalone.
Newell Brands Inc. NWL
Newell's board destroyed $10bn and handed control to Icahn; elect Starboard's four independent nominees to execute a credible divestiture plan and restore accountability.
Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. MLNX
Mellanox's long-tenured board has presided over chronic underperformance and heavy insider selling; Starboard's 10.6% stake is launching a proxy fight to replace a majority of directors.
Newell Brands Inc. NWL
Newell's Board is dysfunctional — four directors have quit and margins have cratered to 9.1%; elect Starboard's slate at the 2018 Annual Meeting to drive an operational turnaround.
Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc. TYPE
Monotype's three-year acquisition spree (Olapic, Swyft) destroyed $500M+ of value and halved EBITDA margins; Starboard demands four new directors to refocus on the core font franchise.
Newell Brands Inc. NWL
Starboard, backed by Jarden's founders, seeks to replace Newell's board after CEO Michael Polk destroyed $11bn of value following the 2016 Jarden merger.
Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. MLNX
Mellanox has industry-leading 70%+ gross margins but dead-last operating margins among fabless semis; disciplined cost cuts can close a multi-year peer gap and rerate the stock.
Deckers Outdoor Corporation DECK
Deckers' board missed every margin target and wasted $600m on retail bloat and Sanuk; replacing them enables UGG focus, non-core divestitures and a doubling to $135-158.
The Procter & Gamble Company PG
P&G's long-tenured Board has rewarded a decade of market-share loss and bottom-quartile EPS growth; electing Nelson Peltz adds the shareholder voice needed to fix innovation, productivity, M&A and governance.
Nestlé NESN
Nestlé's world-class brand portfolio masks decade-long underperformance; new CEO Schneider must adopt margin and leverage targets, reshape the portfolio, and monetize L'Oréal to drive EPS to CHF 5-6 by 2020.
Buffalo Wild Wings BWLD
Sally Smith-led BWLD has underperformed peers, mismanaged margins, and wasted capital buying back franchise stores; replacing the board and refranchising to 90% unlocks a higher multiple.
Buffalo Wild Wings BWLD
Buffalo Wild Wings should reverse course on low-return franchisee buy-ins, refranchise to 90% by 2020, recapitalize, and fix incentives — unlocking ~180% upside to ~$402.
Outerwall Inc. OUTR
Outerwall's cash-rich Redbox/Coinstar business trades at a 3x EBITDA capital-allocation discount; halting buybacks for a large dividend and running a sale process unlocks 150%+ upside.
Yahoo! Inc. YHOO
Three years of failed turnaround have collapsed Yahoo's Core Business; Starboard demands a competitive sale process and leadership change, or it will launch an election contest.
General Electric GE
GE has quietly pivoted to a focused industrial post-GE Capital exit; executing 16% margins, prudent leverage and ~$100bn of buybacks gets the stock to $40-$45 by end-2017.
Yahoo! Inc. YHOO
Yahoo's Core Business is collapsing because of $550M of self-inflicted cost bloat; cutting costs and replacing the Microsoft search deal can restore profitability without touching Alibaba.
Rovi Corporation ROVI
Rovi's entrenched board destroyed a decade of shareholder value while promising 'double-digit growth next year' every year; Engaged's nominees Lockwood and Rau bring operating credibility the incumbents lack.

E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company DD
DuPont is a bloated conglomerate hiding $2-4bn of excess corporate costs and crony compensation; Trian's board nominees can unlock $120/share by 2017 — a 21% IRR.
H.J. Heinz Company HNZ
Retrospective of Trian's 2006 Heinz campaign: a 13D white paper and proxy-won board seats drove brand reinvestment and cost discipline, delivering 178% TSR versus 40% for the S&P 500.
