Activist investor Jana Partners has taken a 5% stake in Lamb Weston (LW), known for being the biggest french fry producer in the US and supplier to fast-food chain McDonald's (MCD). Lamb Weston's stock jumped by over 10% in Friday's session.

This comes after Lamb Weston shuttered its plant in Connell, Washington, and reduced its workforce by 4% earlier in October, all part of a new cost-cutting initiative.
