Krispy Kreme is reportedly up for sale. A strategic all-cash buyout in the range of
$12.50–
$15.00 per share (valuing the deal between
$2B–
$2.5B) would likely gain shareholder approval.
The acquiring company would assume all liabilities, assets, and existing locations. This could be a highly strategic move for a major player like
$SBUX or
$DNKN to expand market share, unlock premium real estate, and bolster franchise growth.
Alternatively, it presents a golden opportunity for a global coffee chain looking to break into the U.S. market with a strong retail footprint. I'd estimate 90% of shareholders would support such a deal, especially with the right premium. If your smart you will bring this to your board as 2B is nothing to this bigger company's can probably write that off in taxes.
