How hiring Jefferies can maximize shareholder value?

Divesting Non-Core Assets: By selling underperforming or non-essential parts of the business, a company can focus on its core operations, which may lead to improved profitability and efficiency. This can result in a stronger overall business performance that is more appealing to investors.

1. Strengthening Financial Position: Selling assets can provide immediate capital, which can be used to pay down debt or invest in higher-return opportunities. A healthier balance sheet can lead to increased investor confidence and potentially higher stock prices.

2. Strategic Partnerships or Mergers: Engaging in strategic sales or mergers can create synergies that improve operational efficiencies, reduce costs, or expand market reach. This can enhance the company’s competitive position and long-term growth prospects.

3. Improved Focus on Core Competencies: By narrowing its focus, the company can allocate resources more effectively to areas that drive the most value, leading to better performance and innovation in those segments.

4. Market Perception: Taking proactive steps to address challenges can positively influence market perception. Investors respond favorably to companies that demonstrate a commitment to strategic management and shareholder returns.

5. Unlocking Value: Sometimes, parts of a business may be undervalued as part of a larger entity. Selling those parts separately can unlock value that wasn’t recognized in the broader company valuation.

Doesn't help if core assets are unprofitable does it

What made you say that? Can you tell us the difference between cash flow and earnings and how impairment charges (Non cash accounting write offs) fit into the picture? While Corus is trying to navigate a tough market in a tight economic cycle (recession, wars, inflation, squeezed consumers...) it doesn't mean that the company is unprofitable. Some segments are for sure and that is why they are
