Dell, Seagate, FIS Make Barron's Top Dozen LBO Candidates
Last week, the media went into overdrive on the supposed PE takeover of Yahoo. Now, the speculation has turned to what company may be next on the LBO menu. Luckily, Barron’s has compiled a list of the top dozen LBO candidates. PE firms need to do deals because they are sitting on tens of billions of commitments from institutional investors and will be forced to free investors from those commitments if they don’t invest the funds, the story said. There’s also been a lot of talk about how a $10 billion deal is possible now (although we haven’t see it yet).
