As a holder, I don't want this company to be bought out, or it's hero brands sold off. It has great long term prospects. All of the economics of the business are fine except that debt is a bit high - due to a leveraged buy out. This will eventually be paid off, and then it is free earnings. Despite popularist opinion, the banks will be happy to roll this debt and receive their interest until it is paid off - as long as earnings hold up reasonably well(which they will).
