Starboard built a ‘several‑hundred‑million‑dollar’ stake in Shake Shack $SHAK, likely making it the largest active shareholder. It calls the brand undervalued, seeing it trading at ‘about half’ of where it should be. Starboard is pushing SHAK to accelerate US expansion by adding franchising rather than relying solely on company‑owned stores.

$BWEL annual meeting is next week in Pasadena. Since the last meeting, the company raised dividend back to $5/quarter and did the largest buyback in recent memory. Additionally, there is some new blood in the C-suite (although Jim Boswell is still there). Will be interesting!

August write-up on Cal Maine $CALM now available to freebie accounts on VIC... Good overview of the situation... at ~$60-65/sh it looks like an asymmetric bet with a 4-6 quarter time horizon https://t.co/60U009ZX53

$FIZZ seems like an attractive short. Classic staple juicing price into slowing volumes, meanwhile they're getting attacked by competition. They trade at around 17x earnings for some reason when a lot of better looking staples trade at low teens.
