After Swiss activist shareholder VV Value Vals AG disclosed an 8.2% stake in Dean Foods, making it the company's third largest shareholder, Stephens analyst Farha Aslam noted that Dean has already engaged a third party strategic consulting firm but the one action that its restructuring program does not seem to encompass that the activist may seek to pursue is the sale of the company. Dean could be an attractive target for a foreign company looking for access to the U.S. dairy market, added Aslam, who keeps an Equal Weight rating and $10 price target on Dean shares.
