Activist investor Engaged Capital, which has acquired a significant stake in Cognex, is advocating for the machine vision systems maker to implement cost-cutting measures and engage cost consultants. Engaged's founder Glenn Welling believes these strategies could nearly double Cognex's stock price over the next two years, highlighting the potential for improved profit margins from the current 17% closer to 40%. With new management in place, Welling is optimistic about driving revenue and stock performance.
