Investment opportunity alert: Shares of GE Healthcare (GEHC) are currently experiencing a slide, providing a chance for savvy investors to take advantage of an attractive valuation in the medical-technology industry. The decline is due to its largest shareholder, General Electric (GE), monetizing its ownership stake in GEHC to pay off its own debt. However, this does not change the company’s strong fundamentals and potential for growth, especially in the Imaging business unit which includes sales of MRI and PET/CT machines.
While trading restrictions prevent us from taking advantage of this opportunity, we believe that the sellers are making a mistake and that the market is overreacting to the news, especially since the transaction is not dilutive and won’t reduce the earnings per share of existing investors.
Investors should be wary of dilutive secondary offers priced at a steep discount to the market, as they suggest that the stock is overvalued or that the company is cash-burning and issuing more sales to improve their balance sheets. However, this is not the case for GEHC. Therefore, we would have aggressively bought in if not for trading restrictions.
It’s worth noting that General Electric has plans to further monetize its ownership stake in GEHC and its energy division, which some investors should be aware of. But overall, our outlook for GE Healthcare remains bright as a standalone company.
