Despite owning less than a quarter of Lifeway Foods’ common stock, Danone’s rights under the Shareholder Agreement pose a significant business risk by potentially limiting the company’s ability to competitively compensate its leadership. Danone’s ability to influence or block certain corporate actions, such as equity offerings, mergers, and acquisitions, may deter qualified executives from joining or remaining with Lifeway Foods. Furthermore, Danone’s preferential rights could lead to undervalued offers for Lifeway or its shares, possibly undermining the company’s market position and value, while also misaligning with the interests of other shareholders.
Overall, Wall Street has a Moderate Buy consensus rating on LWAY stock based on 1 Buy.
