POST (NYSE:POST) is a consumer packaged goods holding company whose products are sold through a range of channels, such as grocery, drug stores, foodservice and the Internet. While Post has been transforming itself from a branded cereal manufacturer into a food holding company with a more growth-oriented portfolio, fiscal year appreciation was due to the acquisition of Malt-O-Meal brands, which strengthened the company’s cereal business. In addition, a strong performance of the Michael Food’s segment and improvements in the company’s protein-focused brands contributed to good results. Post also benefited from a capital raise of equity and debt, which decreased its financial leverage, putting the company in a better position to take advantage of future value-enhancing mergers and acquisitions. We eliminated the position in the fourth quarter of 2015 when the stock traded above our business value estimate.
