Ensign Group Does It Again
Perhaps The Ensign Group should hire Britney Spears to perform at its Holiday party this year, and she can sing, “Oops, I did it again.” Because that is exactly what Ensign did. Another profitable quarter notched in its belt when too many skilled nursing operators continue to suffer, and it upped its earnings guidance for the rest of the year, the second time it has done so this year. The skeptic would claim they just give low guidance so they can keep on upping it. We don’t really care, as long as they keep on performing as they do. The “market,” however, was disappointed because Ensign missed consensus earnings per share estimates by one penny, so the share price dropped by 4%. Ho hum.... Read More »

60 Seconds With Swett: PE Firms Scrutinize Labor-Intensive Healthcare Deals
I attended the McDermott Will & Emery HPE New York event last week and learned a lot about private equity firms’ healthcare M&A strategies, and how valuations, deal processes, terms and their targeted sectors are changing in a rising interest rate world and in a recession. Healthcare companies are going through many of the same woes as senior care: fraught sponsor/lender relationships, wide bid-ask spreads, increased deal scrutiny from buyers and capital providers. That last one doesn’t sound bad. And there were always the optimistic comments around demographics and healthcare’s recession-resistance. But the general observation was that the party has ended, and the M&A boom of... Read More »
