The Magellan Aerospace story led me to Howmet. The IKEA store closures pointed me to Target. This week’s Chapter 11 filing from Focus Factor maker Synergy CHC Corp. points me squarely to Reckitt Benckiser (RBGLY). Synergy CHC filed for bankruptcy on September 4, 2026, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Columbia, TheStreet reported.  Costco told the company back in July that it would be discontinuing Focus Factor products…
