Chobani workers get ownership stake that could make them millionaires. >Employees of Greek yogurt maker Chobani are getting an unexpected windfall: an ownership stake in the company that could make millionaires of some. CEO and Founder Hamdi Ulukaya told the company’s 2,000 full-time employees at its Upstate New York plant Tuesday they’ll receive shares worth up to 10% of the company’s value when it goes public or is sold. usatoday.com RE: LWAY -On my theory that protein based breakfast & lunch products will be acquisition targets. Targets won't be at cheap multiples either. In the case of LWAY. Family approval is needed. Danone Foods also has potential outside acquirers, guarded by it's investment. However IMO Kefir is not exposed enough knowledge wise to the general public. This to go through a major growth phase yet. IMO that's why I believe it's a target. Explosion potential, but at a relatively high multiple cost. I base this on the skepticism Chobani Greek Yogurt once had. It's widely know an accepted now. Proof is in the Greek yogurt competition. This after the biggies saw Chobani grow.

Sold LWAY today for a nice profit for re-deployment elsewhere. Danone made a big move. IMO a less likely target by them now. Still sticking with STKL. They need a bigger parent. They never have had good solid direction. They have had bad luck with recalls. They now are looking for a buyer. Investment banker hired. Time will tell if there's a possible interested buyer. IMO If no interest. It languishes in low 4s till profit improvement warrants.
