Magnum Ice Cream Buyout Buzz: Blackstone and CD&R Circle Ben & Jerry’s Owner After Stock Slide

Magnum Ice Cream Buyout Buzz: Blackstone and CD&R Circle Ben & Jerry’s Owner After Stock Slide

Blackstone and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice have started looking at possible bids for The Magnum Ice Cream Company N.V.—the company behind Ben & Jerry’s and Cornetto—according to two sources cited by Reuters on Friday. Magnum shares surged close to 16% following the news, heading for their steepest one-day climb since the stock’s debut. Timing is crucial here. Magnum only separated from Unilever under six months back, hitting the market around a 7.8 billion euro valuation. The shares slipped from a peak of 16.5 euros earlier this year, now hovering just above their initial listing price.

Unilever PLC (ULVR, UL) Stock Jumps After Magnum Demerger and Share Consolidation – December 2025 Outlook

Unilever PLC’s stock is back on investors’ radar after a flurry of December corporate actions: the long‑planned spin‑off of its ice cream arm into The Magnum Ice Cream Company, an 8‑for‑9 share consolidation, and fresh guidance on margins and M&A. As of 10 December 2025, the reshaped consumer‑goods group looks leaner, more focused – and still somewhat controversial on valuation. The share price action around the demerger illustrates how messy big corporate restructurings can look in real time.

Spun out of Unilever and now trading in Amsterdam, London and New York, Magnum combines some of the world’s best-known ice cream brands with a set of very modern headaches: GLP‑1 weight‑loss drugs, sugar regulation, and big separation costs.

  • Sandisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) slips 4% as Apple eyes China chip supplier
    June 29, 2026, 2:40 PM EDT. Sandisk (NASDAQ: SNDK) shares dropped 4% Monday, shrugging off Jefferies' price target hike from late last week. The move comes after reports that Apple may seek U.S. approval to buy low-cost memory chips from China's CXMT. That could pressure pricing for Sandisk and rival Micron, though CXMT mostly makes DRAM and Sandisk sells NAND flash. Some analysts, like Mizuho's Jordan Klein, say the risk may be overblown given current supply shortages and solid demand into 2027-2028. Sandisk was also left off Motley Fool's new top stock picks list, which could weigh on investor sentiment for growth-seekers.
