Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. LW
Lamb Weston's recovery is real but insufficient; doubling cost cuts to $500M, targeting 4.5% SG&A, and divesting APAC can restore 25% EBITDA margins at a 6.7x multiple.
Tripadvisor, Inc. TRIP
Tripadvisor trades at 6.5x EBITDA, half its peers, because investors still view it as a controlled legacy Tripadvisor.com — sell TheFork, fix Viator margins, revitalize the brand, or take the $18-19/share bid.
eBay Inc. EBAY
eBay is deeply undervalued; separating Classifieds at peer-level ~22x EBITDA multiples and enforcing a more aggressive Marketplace cost and revenue plan would unlock substantial upside versus today's 8.1x multiple.
Dollar Tree, Inc. DLTR
Dollar Tree is deeply undervalued because Family Dollar is a failed acquisition and the $1 price ceiling is a self-imposed cap; selling Family Dollar and testing multi-price points unlocks $150/share.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Bob Evans Farms, Inc. BOBE
Bob Evans trades at $37 while its packaged-foods segment alone is worth $1.2-1.6bn; spinning off Restaurants leaves a pure-play BEF Foods parent worth $57-79 per share.
Dillard's, Inc. DDS
Dillard's trades at 6.2x EBITDA despite owning ~50mm sq. ft. of real estate; separating into OpCo/PropCo as peers have done implies ~$193/share vs. $109.
Darden Restaurants DRI
Darden, the largest full-service restaurant company, trails peers on margins and total return; an operational fix, REIT spin, and SRG separation can unlock substantial value.
Darden Restaurants, Inc. DRI
Darden's Board destroyed value by selling Red Lobster for ~1x EBITDA against shareholder will; replacing 12 directors unlocks a real estate spin, cost-cut turnaround, and peer-catchup upside.
Darden Restaurants, Inc. DRI
Darden's rushed Red Lobster spin is the wrong deal at the wrong time — it traps ~$850M of real estate value and blocks a $1-2B REIT unlock; shareholders must call a Special Meeting to stop it.
PepsiCo, Inc. PEP
PepsiCo has chronically underperformed because its 'Power of One' holding-company structure suffocates Frito-Lay and Pepsi; separate them into two focused companies and the combined value will re-rate materially higher.
Bob Evans Farms, Inc. BOBE
Bob Evans trades at a conglomerate discount; spinning BEF Foods, monetizing 482 owned restaurants via sale-leaseback, and tendering at $58 unlocks ~$78.50/share.
