Positive leadership change plus a meaningful dividend yield can attract income and growth-oriented buyers, as evidenced by a 3.8% intraday move. Historically, governance changes in consumer staples with strong yields have led to modest multiple expansion in the near term, though long-term impact hinges on execution.
