Engine Capital LP, a 2.0% shareholder of Parkland Corporation (TSX: PKI), has urged its Board to explore strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value. Engine believes Parkland could be valued at $45 per share if non-core assets are sold or spun off, thereby focusing solely on fuel and convenience retailing. Parkland's stock has underperformed compared to peers, trading at a significant discount with a market cap of approximately $4.9 billion.
