Compass Diversified (CODI) Share Price

Manitoba Harvest is the world's largest hemp food manufacturer, with products in more than 16,000 stores throughout the United States and Canada. This includes recognizable branding such as Hemp Bliss milk, Hemp Hearts, and Hemp Yeah granola bars and protein powder. But by this coming summer, Tilray's newest subsidiary will roll out a line of CBD-infused hemp extracts for the U.S. market.

The beauty of Tilray's acquisition is Manitoba Harvest's advanced distribution network, which will hasten its entrance into U.S. retail doors. If and when marijuana is ever legalized in the U.S., this network could prove crucial to giving Tilray an edge over many of its Canadian competitors.

Sold Manitoba Harvest, reason to own, had preferred B shares as well, then they slashed dividend, left w Sterno and Baby carriages and gun peeps, which is cool, but mostly gun stuff.

Came back because couldn't believe sold Manitoba; management huge disappointment here imo, glad I bailed way back when...

They own 5.11 Tactical. I would say this is undervalued. Long hold for me.

I picked up "B" shares, 12% yield, CODI-B ...

CODI

nobody ever likes these kind of stocks

Agree with your assessment, however long term D R I P and the pattern of $16's to $19's plus timing the div ex date pays off for me, luck has very little to do with it.

Year and half later, not too happy with it these days, not sure if I want to continue to recommend CODI with all the fancy financing, and so little to show for it. The new CEO is not off to a good start with lack of explanation.

Better see something positive in next weeks earnings, but I won't be buying any dips atm.

Buying the dip here...

CODI a keeper even in a Bear Market

CODi

yes nice 8% dividend, mentioned this month in Modern Trader Magazine
in relation to Cannabis industry. Codi invested in Manitoba Harvest

Great time to be buying CODI. Always see dips on public offerings but they always recovery rather quickly. Seen it a ton of times ;) -Sunny$$

AGREED! ...have on "my stocks" picks, GL

Last post 3 years ago? This stock is amazing. MJ with a dividend? Sounds great. -Sunny$$

Greetings: Anyone here? Just got in today for a little bit. What a curiously interesting firm / strategic plot. Surprised at the small ihub board message base

Staffmark Holdings Sold

Compass Diversified Holdings (NYSE: CODI) ("CODI" or the "Company"), an owner of leading middle market businesses, announced today that it has simultaneously entered into a definitive agreement to sell and consummated the sale of its majority owned subsidiary, Staffmark Holdings, Inc. ("Staffmark"), to a subsidiary of Japan-based Recruit Co., Ltd., ("Recruit") for a total enterprise value of $295 million.

The transaction is subject to customary escrow and working capital provisions. After these adjustments, as well as for an allocation to Staffmark's non-controlling shareholders and the payment of all of the transaction expenses, CODI received approximately $220 million of total proceeds from the sale at closing. This amount was in respect of its debt and equity interests in Staffmark and the payment of accrued interest and fees. In addition, the transaction also increases availability under CODI's revolving credit facility by approximately $67 million, as letters of credit guaranteeing payments for Staffmark's workers compensation liability are no longer required to be provided by CODI. The Company anticipates recording a gain on the sale of Staffmark ranging between $75 million and $90 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011.

Commenting on the transaction, Alan Offenberg, CODI's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "The sale of Staffmark represents a highly profitable opportunity for us to monetize our interest in a great company on behalf of our shareholders. In addition, this sale creates significant liquidity for our company and expands our capacity for pursuit of future growth opportunities. While it was a difficult decision to end our long-standing relationship with Staffmark, one of our initial subsidiaries at the time of our IPO in May of 2006, we enjoyed and appreciate the opportunity to have worked with its outstanding management team for all these years. Together, we weathered and thrived through the recent economic turmoil, building Staffmark into one of the premier staffing companies in the U.S., while growing the company's cash flow significantly during our period of ownership. We wish both Staffmark and Recruit continued success in the future."

Mr. Offenberg added, "With this transaction, CODI has now realized more than $185 million in gains since going public in May 2006. As in the past, we intend to utilize the proceeds from the sale of Staffmark to further strengthen our balance sheet and take advantage of both internal and external opportunities, while maintaining the ability to provide attractive distributions to our owners."

The proceeds will be used to repay substantially all of the outstanding debt under the Company's revolving credit facility. Additional information on the transaction will be available on the Company's current report on Form 8-K that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") later this week.

I agree Mr. Nuke...plus, I sell some covered calls to increase my income...Some of their co's are small, and maybe strange, but overall, I AGREE, SOLID LITTLE COMPANIES THAT AS THE ECONOMY TURNS AROUND THEY WILL PERFORM WELL.
OOPS...sorry, hit caps lock.

I don't think the gurus on Wall Street have any respect for CODI... but I think CODI's collection of industry-leading mid-size companies is just the ticket for real long term growth... both in divi's and in share price.

I did, and own it...nice Divi...

Just wondering if others have found this little gem.

Looks like solid growth, generous dividends and nice tax breaks for the patient, long-term investor.
