RANPAK HLD. CL.A DL-,0001

Meridian Contrarian Fund highlighted Ranpak, noting the stock weakened after soft earnings driven by a challenging macro environment and higher EU energy prices that will pressure margins in the region accounting for roughly 45% of sales. The fund trimmed its position during Q1 for risk management but remains invested, citing long-term potential in Ranpak's automation business and its position in sustainable paper-based packaging. Ranpak closed June 26 at $7.31 with a market cap around $607 million and has gained about 98.6% over the past 52 weeks despite recent quarterly weakness. » More on finance.yahoo.com
