Pharmaceutical Firms Are Cleaning House to Profit
There’s no doubt it was an unusually slow February in the healthcare M&A market. Historically, the middle of Q1 tends to dip and then rebound by March, but with less than 100 deals on the books, the rapid spread of the coronavirus, Covid-19, seems to have undercut investor confidence, both big and small. And although some biotech stocks have soared following announcements of their coronavirus treatment efforts, pharmaceutical firms have been relatively quiet.

Physician Group Merger Creates Florida’s Largest Orthopaedic Provider
February was a modest month for Physician Medical Group deals. With seven on the books thus far (we expect more to pop up), it beat February 2019’s total by just one deal. However, M&A activity seems to be gaining steam in March, with a number of deals already announced, including two substantial physician groups down in Florida. This past week the Florida Orthopaedic Institute, backed and supported by MD Healthcare Partners, merged with OrthoCare Florida, a physician group with thirteen practices across Florida. The combined company will become the largest orthopedic provider in the state and the 13th largest in the country. The group will also include two orthopedic urgent care... Read More »
