Who is buying whom in the food industry, and why?
We read food deals from their parties, motives and valuations to what changes afterward, and we separate what is announced from our own reading.
Why STEAK?
A steak is a cut that is chosen and trimmed with care, and deals work the same way: companies and stakes are cut from the market and change hands. This newsletter reads those cuts across the food industry. It covers mergers, acquisitions and strategic investments across food sectors, exploring deals, their parties, motives and impact on the industry, along with valuations, buying logic and what happens after the acquisition.
