Papa John's Might Work Better as a Private Company -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01:32

1332 ET - A go-private deal for Papa John's International would allow the company to pare down and rationalize its existing store footprints both in the U.S. and abroad, Benchmark analyst Todd Brooks writes, following a Wall Street Journal report of a roughly $1.5 billion acquisition offer from Irth Capital Management and Brookfield Asset Management. "This in turn, via sales transfer to the remaining locations, has the potential to make these stores more profitable as the innovation efforts to stimulate new customer traffic take hold," Brooks writes. "Opportunistically, being private could allow PZZA to pulse price point promotion as needed in short spurts to maintain market share, while also potentially accelerating efforts to become a more fully franchised operator (a process that is currently ongoing)."
