JPMorgan analyst Gary Taylor says Almost Family's (AFAM) merger of equals with LHC Group (LHCG) amounts to a takeover at a 16% premium, based on LHC's closing price yesterday. Regarding antitrust, the analyst notes that while the deal would propel the third and fourth largest players in the home-health industry to a number two position behind Kindred Healthcare (KND), the industry is "tremendously fragmented." Further, Taylor believes the merger agreement contains "onerous divestiture language." The analyst has a Neutral rating on Almost Family with a $59 price target.
