1H17 Results Worse Than Expected. Post the rally and elevated multiple vs the sector the market was hoping for a cost save plan and capacity reduction. Nothing was forthcoming except a weak performance from the CEO on CNBC this morning and a miss on numbers. They most likely have alot further to fall but this…

The rationale for the deal becomes clear today with a very poor +1% LFL and underwhelming guidance of 3% organic vs the market closer to 4.5%. Growth is slowing, potential acquisitions are few and far between. They need to buy growth to sustain their premium rating. Most acquisitions are accretive given financing costs. It doesnt…
