It could be an attractive target for a private-equity investor or activist manager because it throws off strong cash flows—an estimated $950 million this year. Cash flows support a $2 a share dividend, which equates to a 4% yield, among the few payouts in the industry...; the company confirmed on Friday that it plans to increase the payout. Darden also owns the land and buildings for 55% of its restaurants, which Penney ("Howard Penney, a managing director and restaurant analyst at Hedgeye Risk Management, who correctly called the stock's decline earlier this year") values at $20 a share. His sum-of-the-parts valuation concludes that the company is worth $66 a share." -------- I've a few shares bought Feb and Mar.
