That means while others wait for gold to go higher…
You could already be collecting $1,152 a month.

Tupperware Lives On: Why Betterware Is Up 8% on the News
Author: Jeffrey Neal Johnson. First Published: 1/21/2026.
Summary
- Betterware de Mexico is buying Tupperware’s Latin American operations for $250 million, a steep discount on EV/EBITDA versus peers.
- The deal is expected to be immediately accretive, with projections calling for a sizable EPS lift and strong EBITDA contribution.
- Underutilized manufacturing capacity in Mexico and Brazil could support margin expansion, while management says the dividend policy remains intact.
Investors hate uncertainty, but they love a bargain. In the third week of January 2026, Betterware de Mexico (NYSE: BWMX) delivered both. Shares jumped more than 12% after the company announced a definitive agreement to acquire Tupperware's Latin American operations.
The move is a potential game-changer for the company, now operating under the holding company name BeFra. The deal, valued at $250 million, covers Tupperware's businesses in Mexico and Brazil and is being purchased from Party Products LLC—the entity formed by lenders that took control of Tupperware's assets following its 2024 financial struggles.
"Skim" $6,361 with an 18-digit code? (Ad)
A former hedge fund manager who made $274 million in profits for his clients says "yes."
How? With something he calls "Skim Codes."
You just type the code into a regular brokerage account.
This isn't a story about buying a dying business so much as finding a valuable asset amid trouble. While global Tupperware faced headwinds, its Latin American operations have remained cash-generative. By acquiring these assets, Betterware gains not only a recognizable brand but also a dominant position in the direct-to-consumer market across the region's two largest economies. The rise in Betterware's stock price suggests the market views the purchase as strong capital allocation.
The Deal of the Decade? Why Investors Love the Math
To see why the stock jumped, look at the price tag. In mergers and acquisitions the valuation multiple is critical—it shows how many years of earnings would be needed to cover the purchase price.
Betterware is paying $250 million in total ($215 million in cash and $35 million in stock). That equates to an Enterprise Value-to-EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) multiple of roughly 3.1x on estimated 2025 EBITDA.
The average trading multiple for companies in the direct-selling industry is about 6.6x. Put another way, Betterware is acquiring future cash flow at a little under half the typical market price.
That discount creates a significant margin of safety. Even if integration encounters hiccups, the low entry multiple makes it likely the deal will remain profitable.
Instant Profit: The 40% EPS Boost
Acquisitions often depress short-term earnings due to integration costs. This one is projected to be immediately accretive.
Analysts estimate the transaction will lift Betterware's earnings per share (EPS) by roughly 40%—about $0.58 per share annually. The acquired operations are expected to generate around $81 million of annual EBITDA. For long-term shareholders, that combination of immediate accretion and significant cash flow is ideal.
Operational Magic: Cutting Costs to Boost Margins
Financial engineering is useful, but operational improvements are what sustain earnings. One neglected asset in this deal is manufacturing capacity. Tupperware owns large production facilities in Mexico and Brazil that are currently underutilized.
- Mexico facility: Running at roughly 65% utilization.
- Brazil facility: Running at roughly 50% utilization.
Betterware plans to transfer production of its own products—Betterware Home Solutions and Jafra beauty packaging—into these underused factories. This approach, often called absorption, spreads fixed costs (rent, utilities, salaried managers) over a higher volume of units. The result: lower Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and wider profit margins across the portfolio.
No Strangers Here: The Campos Connection
One common acquisition risk is cultural mismatch. That risk appears limited here.
Luis Campos, chairman of Betterware (BeFra), brings direct experience with the asset—he served as chairman of Tupperware Americas from 1994 to 1999. His familiarity with the brand, the direct-selling model, and regional market dynamics should help smooth the integration and preserve value.
Safe & Sound: Debt, Cash Flow, and Dividends
Betterware will finance $215 million of the purchase with debt, which pushes its Net Debt-to-EBITDA ratio from about 1.6x to roughly 1.9x.
While leverage is higher, it remains well below levels that typically make analysts nervous (around 3x). Given the expected cash flow from the acquired operations, the company still looks conservatively financed.
Crucially for income investors, management has reiterated that the acquisition will not change the company's current dividend policy. Betterware has been known for a high yield (generally 5%–8%), and that commitment reduces a key source of investor concern.
Why the Target Is Now Sealed at $30
The market's initial reaction tells the story: this looks like a win for Betterware de Mexico. By acquiring a legacy brand at a steep discount, Betterware has set the stage for a potential breakout in 2026.
Analysts are revising models and lifting price targets, with some firms now eyeing the $30 level. The mix of immediate earnings accretion, a protected dividend, and a clear operational plan makes Betterware a stock to watch. Over the next six months investors will be watching execution closely to see whether the BeFra platform can fully revitalize the Tupperware name. For now, the outlook appears favorable.
