Outerwall IncOUTR, a provider of automated retail solutions such as The Redbox and Coinstar, surged higher by more than 7 percent on Monday after Engaged Capital, an activist investor,
disclosed a 14.1 percent stake in the company.
Engaged Capital commented in its regulatory filing that Outerwall's stock is "undervalued" and represents an "attractive investment opportunity."
