  • Possible Bidding War for Signify Health Marks Turning Point for Home Care, Experts Say

“Three years ago, every three to four deals we would sell out of five would be to a strategic buyer,” Moran said. “The majority of buyers we see now are private equity, and now I think it’s kind of turning back in a way where these larger strategic companies are trying to stay competitive and continuing to grow and scale their companies.”

A potential bidding war for tech-enabled home health provider Signify Health shows the continued attractiveness of the home health market, according to a mergers and acquisitions expert.

News surfaced over the weekend that Amazon, UnitedHealth and Option Care Health are joining CVS Health as possible suitors for Signify Health. Michael Moran, a partner with M&A Healthcare Advisors, told McKnight’s Home Care Daily Pulse that this activity could be a sign that there has been a shift again in the mergers and acquisitions market for home health.

“Three years ago, every three to four deals we would sell out of five would be to a strategic buyer,” Moran said. “The majority of buyers we see now are private equity, and now I think it’s kind of turning back in a way where these larger strategic companies are trying to stay competitive and continuing to grow and scale their companies.”
