Corvex reveals a stake in uniform supplier Vestis. The firm is suggesting that it’s here for the long term.

is a provider of uniform rentals and workplace supplies across the United States and Canada. In addition to uniforms, the company provides mats, towels, linens and restroom supplies. Vestis' customer base participates in a variety of industries, and it serves customers ranging from small, family-owned operations with a single location to corporations and national franchises with multiple locations.

Corvex acquired approximately 25% of its position at prices as high as $19.39 per share prior to the stock falling, and the firm accelerated its purchases in the aftermath of the Q2 '24 results. If Corvex thought that the company was undervalued at $19 per share, the firm must be loving it at $12 per share, particularly since the retention issue that was the primary cause of the decline has been fixed.

Corvex Management does not take activist positions to be operators or micro-managers of the day-to-day business. And thankfully that is not what is needed here with this board and management team. But where Corvex does excel is in the area where Vestis is lacking: market communication and capital allocation. These are issues that a lot of companies have, but particularly newer companies that have not been public very long.
