It feels to me like a lot of posturing and hype. Ive followed this stuff for several years and if you search on google you can find lots of past news stories that had the same tone. I found one from 2008 that read almost exactly like what we are hearing. The only reason the divesture ever comes on the table is that the shareholders want to hold the board accountable for not making a big enough profit. Eagle happens to be fairly top heavy on the seniority list, which does hurt profitability SOME. Then again we are still using a computer system from the 60s so there is probably something to be said about lack of efficiency maybe?
Be prepared for the worst and hope for the best.... It will all work out in the end...
