Why Welbilt Stock Popped 24% Friday
Back in April, shares of commercial foodservice company Welbilt (NYSE: WBT) jumped after it announced plans to be acquired by larger competitor Middleby (NASDAQ: MIDD). At the time, investors thought the combination that would create a kitchen equipment supply leader in the commercial foodservice space was a good one for shareholders of both companies, and shares of both companies popped.
But today, shares of Welbilt soared 24%, after Reuters reported that Italian foodservice equipment company Ali Group is attempting to outbid Middleby.
