Bloomin' Brands (BLMN) Stock Pops After Jana Partners Discloses Stake
Shares of restaurant operator Bloomin’ Brands (BLMN - Free Report) closed the day up over 12% to $20.54 per share after activist investor Jana Partners disclosed an 8.7% stake in the company.
In a regulatory filing, Jana said that it initially acquired the stake as of November 10, which makes it Bloomin’ Brands’ second-biggest outside stockholder.
The firm also said that the company’s stock was “undervalued and represent[s] an attractive investment opportunity.” Jana continued, saying that they plan on having conversations with the company’s management and board of directors, “including a review of strategic alternatives including exploring a sale.”
This announcement is just Jana’s latest stake in the food and restaurant industry. Last week, the firm disclosed a 4.5% investment in fast food chain Jack in the Box (JACK - Free Report) , and earlier this year, Jana bought a portion of Whole Foods before the organic grocer was acquired by Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) .
Bloomin’ Brands owns and operates popular restaurant chains Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar. BLMN has gained almost 14% year-to-date.
