Simply Good Foods

Madison Small Cap Fund said The Simply Good Foods Company has been hampered by cost inflation, Atkins brand rationalization and integration challenges from the OWYN acquisition. While Quest had previously sustained growth, a recent slowdown in the core Quest protein bar business and a loss of confidence in management leading to a leadership change prompted the fund to sell its position. The stock has fallen sharply, down about 63% over the past 52 weeks, and the fund prefers reallocating to better opportunities. » Plus sur finance.yahoo.com
