Starboard Value sent a letter to Knife River's board, asking them to improve profits and think about selling the company.

That request could push Knife River to keep more profit from each sales dollar, or lead it to explore a sale that Starboard says might bring extra money. But the profit target is Starboard's demand, and no new results, buyer, or sale is reported. The letter alone does not show that either benefit will happen.
