Lands’ End ( (LE) ) has issued an announcement.
On January 26, 2026, Lands’ End entered into an agreement to contribute all of its “Lands’ End” brand intellectual property and related licensing assets into a new subsidiary, IPCo, and then sell a 50% controlling stake in IPCo to WHP Global’s subsidiary for $300 million in cash, with the proceeds earmarked in part to repay its outstanding term loan. WHP will also launch a concurrent tender offer to buy up to 2,222,222 Lands’ End shares at $45 per share, potentially taking a roughly 7% equity stake, while the deal structure gives WHP board control over IPCo, sets up detailed governance and exit mechanics tied to WHP Topco monetization events, and locks Lands’ End into a long-term, royalty-bearing exclusive license for its core products in key markets—together signaling a significant balance-sheet deleveraging, a strategic shift to an asset-light, brand-management model, and a tighter alignment with WHP that could reshape economics for shareholders and other stakeholders over time.
The most recent analyst rating on (LE) stock is a Hold with a $14.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lands’ End stock, see the LE Stock Forecast page.
