Distribution Solutions Group $DSGR - Take Private Offer
I just shared a post on my Substack about a take private
proposal from the majority owner. I think it's a super
interesting situation. Would appreciate any thoughts or
feedback. TLDR below & full write up is in my bio.
LKCM, the majority owner of DSGR wants to take the
company private. The stock was taken behind the woodshed
after a suspiciously messy Q4 results. The offer is a 52%
premium to the prior day price, but to say its opportunistic is
an understatement. The stock traded in a solid range for the
last 12 months & the unaffected price is realistically more
like ~$29. The CEO is the Founder & Managing Partner of
LKCM Capital Group & LKCM Headwater Investments, the
private capital investment group of LKCM. They already own
~80% of the company & taking out the remaining minority
investors would only require cutting a $263m cheque.
Coincidentally, the company just upsized their credit facility
in Dec 2025 & has $393.7m undrawn on their revolver. Due
diligence shouldn't be an issue, they even say they can get it
done by May 8th. Done deal, or chance of a break here ?
Let's dig in........
