Barington Capital Group, owning 1.5% of TriMas (TRS), has called for the company to consider strategic alternatives to address long-term share price underperformance. Since Barington's previous letter in December 2023, TriMas has underperformed its peers and the Russell 2000 index. Barington argues that TriMas' multi-segment structure has not benefited stockholders and suggests two alternatives: selling the Aerospace segment or the entire company.
TriMas currently trades at 8.6x NTM consensus EBITDA, which Barington believes undervalues its Packaging and Aerospace segments. The aerospace sector is consolidating due to strong travel and defense demand, and some of TriMas' multi-segment industrial peers have been acquired at substantial premiums. Barington urges the TriMas Board to promptly seek value-creating alternatives to improve shareholder value.
