If anyone hasn't noticed. The pace of acquisitions (medical equipment- healthcare)has stepped up along with acquisitions in general. IMO it's a good sign of bottoming before a general upturn in this industry. The borrowing rate for strong companies to borrow on their line, or float new debt is very attractive. I used to own Spacelabs, but sold before it was acquired by Instrumentarium. Ditto on Ameripath (PATH). The signs are here, but a low stock price can be a driver if margins are still improving. Next quarter should be a sign of pent up demand for NBSC equipment for those with use it or loose it budgets. Also Section 179 purchases for small profitable businesses.
