Formerly Berry. Still buried in value?

🎯 The Trigger: A Baby Wipes Binge—on Shares

Insiders are buying like they know something. We’re talking millions of dollars, multiple directors, and one CEO who’s been filling his diaper bag with shares like it’s the end of a bull market buffet.

👔 Recent Buys:

• 🧑💼 Curless: +10,000 shares

• 👩💼 Marnick: +4,000 shares

• 🧔 Salmon: +17,000 shares

• 👴 Brown: +16,940 shares

• 🧓 Rickertsen: +20,000 shares (again)

• 🧑💼 CEO Begle: +20,275 shares — and again before that, +23,786 shares!

📈 And institutions?
They own 100.6% of float. Yep. More shares than exist. Either someone’s double-counting, or short interest is playing Twister.

🧻 What Is Magnera Again?

Magnera is the lovechild of Berry Global’s health & hygiene unit and Glatfelter, making it the largest nonwoven fabric company in the world.

What are nonwovens?

• 🍼 Diapers

• 😷 Face Masks

• 🏥 Surgical Gowns

• 🤧 Wipes, pads, and more

Basically: If it touches skin, catches drips, or filters air—Magnera probably made it.

📉 The (Not-So-Fresh) Diaper Full of Risks:

1. Tariffs – Smothering global trade like an overstuffed burrito

2. Commodity Prices – Fluctuating faster than a toddler’s mood

3. The Great Diaper Rebellion – Toddlers ditching diapers for minimalism?

4. Face Mask Fatigue – The COVID era might be over, but bugs aren't done.

5. General Market Apocalypse – If the bear market strikes, even wipes can’t clean it up

🧼In this corner: A squeaky-clean management team with insider confidence
💥In the other corner: Tariffs, cost pressure, and public market pessimism

📣 Round 1: Insiders swing big with their wallets
📣 Round 2: Debt’s looking sweaty in the ring
📣 Round 3: Margin control & free cash flow tag in

🏆 Decision? Could be a comeback classic.

🧠 Quick Takeaways:

✅ Insiders are backing the truck up
✅ Institutions are in deep
✅ Post-merger stability is real
✅ Products are sticky (literally and figuratively)

But…

⚠️ Debt's a drag
⚠️ Global macro = unpredictable
⚠️ Stock price is still crawling after its 2014 peak ($416!)

🤔 Our Take?

Magnera may not be sexy, but wipes and nonwovens never go out of style. The insider buying could be the BBQ smoke signal of a serious business turnaround.

We’re not saying it's a buy…
But we’re not not saying it either. 😉

Disclaimer: We own face masks, not MAGN stock. Yet. Do your research, don’t take advice from cartoon bears, and remember: diapers are a growth market—until they’re not—and vice versa.
