Papa John's at a Steep Discount to Prior Takeover Price - A High-Reward Long Trade
Papa John's (PZZA) trades ~44% below Apollo's prior $64 bid and offers an asymmetric risk/reward for a long trade. The chain has real cash generation, a >5% yield, and active-market interest; the stock is technically oversold. This trade targets a recovery toward takeover levels while protecting capital if the turnaround stalls.
