This comes to about 1.36x revenues for the trailing four quarters ended December 30, 2020, and perhaps 18x to 20x 2021 normalized EBITDA. Last year, we wrote that it would be a home run if they could get any price north of $400 million, so maybe this is a grand slam since they got that... Read More »
