Re: K & KLG

Wk Kellogg CO (KLG) 10.80 -0.44 (-3.91%) PE yet to be determined

Kellanova (K) 52.64 -0.35 (-0.66%) 12.21x PE

Kellogg Splits Into Two Firms, and Shares of Both Tumble in First Session After Separation
Kellanova K, previously known as Kellogg Company, concludes the separation of its North American cereal business, as unveiled before. The move led to the formation of two independent, publicly traded companies, WK Kellogg Co KLG and Kellanova. The separation was reached via the distribution of all WK Kellogg Co shares to Kellanova common stock shareholders.
Kellanova is committed to delivering growth on increased operational focus, fit-for-purpose strategy and resource allocation. Management expects to enhance profitability through operating leverage, widened scale across emerging markets, productivity and revenue growth management. Although the company’s corporate name has altered to Kellanova, its products around the globe will continue to have the Kellogg's brand.
WK Kellogg Co will focus on ready-to-eat cereal across the U.S., Canada, and Caribbean. Management earlier highlighted that the unit will house a portfolio of leading brands like Kellogg's, Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, Mini-Wheats, Special K, Raisin Bran, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, Kashi and Bear Naked.

The old K split into two new companies; K & KLG. Both sold off substantially. I am building a position in K and when I saw the sell off, decided to also add KLG. I made two different Buys in both K & KLG more like tracking positions.

So will the 'new' K be their growth component? Still not sure so will knit together a basket of K & KLG, watch is for a few quarters. If K is the growth component, then you would think you could see PE expansion. Not sure the market sees it w/ the sell off earlier this week.

I will look at them tomorrow and make a few more Buys. Maybe KLG will sell off more and actually be the true 'value' component.

Paul we have seen these spin offs before. I do think there is opportunity as the market try to figure it out.
