The Federal Trade Commission yesterday announced it was filing an antitrust suit against Henry Schein (HSIC), Patterson Companies (PDCO), and Benco, the three largest dental distributors in the United States, William Blair analyst John Kreger tells investors in a research note. The analyst says that while this is not the first time anti-competitive allegations have been made against the companies, the FTC complaint will likely "add credence to the antitrust argument, increase the visibility of the risk, and exacerbate investor concerns about the sustainability of pricing and margins." Kreger believes this could put further pressure on the valuations of Henry Schein and Patterson in the near term, particularly until there is some clear evidence of a spending rebound in dental. He has an Outperform rating on Henry Schein and Market Perform rating on Patterson.
