When Mike Salvino took over as CEO of DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC) in September 2019, he announced during his first earnings call that the company was planning strategic alternatives, including the possible divesture of three of its non-core assets, which made up roughly 25% of the company’s revenue.

BlueSprig Pediatrics, with the backing of KKR & Co. (NYSE: KKR), has been an active player in the M&A field.

In the years in between, deal volume dropped from 89 in 2016 to 81 in 2018. Many not-for-profit systems find themselves on firmer financial ground […]
