$LWAY Chobani buying Daily Harvest is an interesting strategic addition. I would love if they bought Lifeway because they are an excellent business. Between La Colombe and Daily Harvest + new US manufacturing not sure how much more M&A they will do. That said, buying Lifeway is immediately accretive and adds debt free domestic US manufacturing capacity so it could work well

$LWAY my thinking remains the same that a deal will get done. expanded distribution is great, branded volume growth is great. continue growth and strong increase on quarterly net income. they continue to reiterate that 2027 adjusted EBITDA figure of $47-50M because that is very likely where the want the deal priced. I don’t think they’ll get that high of a valuation but do think they will reach a sale price. A lot of noise continuing from Edward and I have to imagine it’s getting exhausting for all of them. Growth is not as explosive as it could be under the fold of a larger organization. They’ll get better pricing negotiation power for packaging, milk, distribution etc if folded into a strategic or merged with a larger business. A very solid target sale price per share here is $32 IMO. Nearly 50% above current share price and equivalent to around $500M market cap just my thinking, could be way off base here given management stubbornness

$LWAY's boardroom battle escalates as Edward Smolyansky accuses leadership of delaying the 2025 Annual Meeting. Earnings fell 20.6% in 2024, yet Julie Smolyansky pocketed $8.5M in bonuses/equity. Over $1M wasted on failed lawsuits against shareholders. Priorities seem clear: enrich insiders, ignore governance. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/edward-smolyansky-rebukes-lifeway-foods-nasdaq-lway-2024-amended-10-k-filing-302445177.html

$LWAY good quarter. the reiteration of “on track for $45-50 million in EBITDA in 2027” signals to me they still want to sell and are telling buyers this is what you all need to base your EBITDA multiple on. Assuming they are looking for a 16-18x multiple, the low end price would be $720-900 million. Not sure they will get quick there but still clear they are looking for a handsome premium
