The changing healthcare landscape, as well as the cyclicality of sector trends and the expected demographics-driven inflection in broader healthcare utilization in the coming years, have opened opportunities for increased private equity involvement in the Healthcare Services group, Jefferies analyst Brian Tanquilut tells investors in a research note. The analyst's quantitative screen and qualitative analysis points to Acadia (ACHC), BioScrip (BIOS) and Envision Healthcare (EVHC) as the "most feasible" leverage buyout candidates in his coverage universe. Tanquilut notes that while AmerisourceBergen (ABC) and McKesson (MCK) also screened as potential leveraged buyout candidates in his analysis, the equity checks required to take both private are likely too large, even for a consortium.
