Utz Goes Private in Difficult Public Market for Food Companies

Dow Jones

07/22

1438 ET - Utz Brands' decision to go private after being taken over by Intersnack is the right path forward, said Jefferies analysts in a research note. The firm said the $14.25 takeout price was fair as consumer stress, SNAP benefit reductions and GLP-1 adoption made a competing bid unlikely. The deal comes as a string of other food companies, such as WK Kellogg, Kellanova and Tree House have also been taken over by private companies. The analysts said the pattern signals how companies see the private route as a way to transform the business away from public-market scrutiny. (grace.yoon@wsj.com)
