Activist shareholders continue to be closely-monitored and imitated by investors given their ability to affect positive change at companies. Whether it be by pressuring companies to set loose underperforming divisions, pushing for change on the company’s board, or advocating for more of the company’s profits to be distributed to shareholders in the form of share buybacks and/or dividend payments, activist investors know how to move the needle in the right direction. Embedded below and on the following pages is the latest 13D activist filing issued by William C. Martin‘s Raging Capital Management, in relation to its position in A. M. Castle & Co (NYSE:CAS). Check it out to see the investor’s latest ownership stake in the stock and possible hints as to what they are doing or plan to do to strengthen the value of their investment.
