The sale of SGK Brands Solutions at a higher-than-expected valuation provides a significant cash inflow of $250 million, which will be used to reduce Matthews International's net financial position and interest costs by approximately 33%. This financial improvement is likely to positively impact MATW's stock price in the short term. Additionally, the company can now focus on its stable memorialization business and the potential turnaround in its industrial tech segment, which could further enhance its financial performance.
