Here's yet another activist filing by one of my favorite activist investors, Starboard Value. This one is in Office Depot. Starboard believes that ODP is significantly undervalued and that its stock would rise significantly if it cut expenses.Starboard Puts the Active in Activist.http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2012/09/17/starboard-puts-the-active-in-activist/Deej
I hope they are right and can help turn this around, I think staples may take another shot at a buyout now that there is enough competition where antitrust shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise OfficeMax will probably merge. Maybe, maybe not, either way this is good news.
