Is B+L for sale?

Seems like there is and an obvious answer to this question. B+L is owned by a private equity firm so it must be for sale. So why would a private equity firm indicate that B+L is not for sale?

Strange. I guess if you told the work force the truth they may stop working. So by always keeping them guessing at what will happen next you can keep them on their toes working on their goals.
 












There should be some clues as to when this sale is going down based on what the CEO has to say. If he says we are not selling B+L expect 6 months. If he does not give a strong statement about the possibility of a sale of B+L September would be the likely month as ISTA would like to capitalize on the natural uptick in the stock market after the summer doldrums.

B&L went up for sale the day Fred became your boss. The rest is just a matter of finding the deal that will benefit the execs and BoD the most.

How does B+L market share break down by division (pharma, vision care, surgical)?

There is a way to turn this thing around. I don't think the CEO has the guts to do what is needed.
Completely new management teams throughout the entire company and consolidation of everything to make things really efficient. Doable but not for the faint of heart.
