Market cap $10.3B

Ben & Jerry's years‑long struggle to defend its progressive mission from parent‑company pressure escalated this week, as The Magnum Ice Cream Company accused the brand's former board chair of misconduct and said its once eight‑member board had been reduced to just two directors.

I rate The Magnum Ice Cream Company a buy for its unrivaled brand portfolio, scale, and structural advantages in global ice cream. MICC commands 21% market share, nearly double its next pure-play competitor, enabling superior pricing power and cost efficiencies. The company's dominant freezer cabinet network secures away-from-home sales, enhances brand visibility, and locks in impulse purchase volume.
