Vista Outdoor is planning to start trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Feb. 10 at an initial price of $29 per share, giving it a market capitalization of $3.62 billion, provided ATK shareholders approve a merger with Orbital Sciences on Jan. 27. Vista Outdoor had an adjusted Ebitda margin of 16.2 percent on pro forma sales of $2.28 billion last year. More in Eyewear Intelligence.
