Report Highlights:
Dean Foods Company (NYSE:DF): Shares of Dean Foods Company (NYSE:DF) soared US$5.04 (or 40.58%) to US$17.46 and made a new 52-week high of US$17.50. This is after the company posted its strong financial results for the second quarter of 2012, in which continued solid growth across all operating segments as well as a continued focus on expense control. What’s more, the proposed initial public offering and tax-free spin-off of its subsidiary WhiteWave Foods led to a positive outlook rating. The IPO, which called for 20 percent of WhiteWave, could occur as soon as the fourth quarter in 2012, but the spin-off isn't expected to take place any sooner than a 180-day lock-up period after the IPO is closed. The deal will allow Dean, the largest U.S. dairy processor, to raise capital at low risk, as the S&P 500 is currently riding a three-month high. In the last three months, company officials have sold US$567,980 in shares through insider trades. Do you think these insiders know something about the IPO the public doesn't?
