At Insider Monkey, we closely monitor the moves made by activist investors. Their targets are often undervalued stocks with firm foundations that for one reason or another have failed to execute. At times, all it takes is a fresh outlook and a slight tweak to completely alter the makeup and efficiency of a company, and activists can provide this. They also shine a spotlight on shareholder value creation, which can be neglected by entrenched management who often have their priorities elsewhere. Below and on the following pages we have embedded the latest 13D activist filing related to Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc (NYSE:BBW), which was recently submitted by J. Carlo Cannell‘s Cannell Capital. The filing shows that Cannell holds a 1.34 million-share position in the company, which is one of its top picks, and that it sent a letter to the company on February 9, nominating two candidates for election to the company’s Board. The filing is embedded in its entirety below and on the following pages.
