Monro receives a soft 'buy' rating, driven by operational improvements, cost cuts, and a compelling valuation despite revenue declines. Comparable store sales growth and strategic closures of underperforming locations have stabilized MNRO's profitability and improved adjusted net profits. Carl Icahn's 14.79% stake introduces a potential catalyst, though a recent rights plan signals management resistance to a buyout.
Icahn has a long history in the automotive parts and services industry, so this investment could play out in several different ways.
Icahn disclosed ownership of 4.4 million shares, or almost a 15% stake in Monro, according to a new regulatory filing.
