Warburg Pincus is trying to gauge Wall Street reaction to a possible B+L IPO. By sending the guy who looks like he has a stick up his ass onto TV they are basically throwing it out there to the public and saying "hey investors....what if B+L goes public? Would you give us your money? How about now? When? When? How about now?" It's one of the stupidest things I've seen in a while and it only shows that B+L is in a weak position. Claiming on TV that Pharma is their strongest business? B+L insiders know that it's a time bomb waiting to go off- and each day pharma gets closer to imploding. Generics and formulary will make B+L irrelevant in just a few years (regardless of what novelty ophthalmic they bring to market). B+L is like the worst car on the used car lot with a shady salesman trying to dress it up until somebody finally takes it. Why else would you waste 4 minutes on a national TV show where you say nothing except "we are trying to figure out when the right time is..." I'm sure B+L paid a bit of money for the chance to say little and then measure what the overall reaction is. Here's the answer: crickets. Only dumb investors buy the worst vehicle on the lot and it's buyer beware out there.
 






Same old, Same old. B+L is in excellent shape but somehow the company is too lazy to file for an IPO because it is too much work and B+L would not get much in an IPO. Also, B+L is the best brand in eye health but no one wants to buy it.

If the profits are at record levels why can't WP cash in on its investment?

CEO delay delay delay, rope a dope BS. He must be related to someone I can not see why they keep him around to say the same thing year after year.
 






I agree, how can you interview someone that says absolutely nothing. B+L must of paid for the spot. Bausch + Mom CEO has nothing to say about the company. No news what-so-ever. MSNBC is suppose to give out news and information that investors can use. Save the advertisements for "my company is for sale" for the advertisement segments in between the real news.

The company is testing the waters and using this as a way to stick the toe in and see what it's like. The IPO would only make the private equity and major stakeholders millions of dollars in profit. They could have made an IPO anytime- they are just trying to figure out at what time they will make the most money. This is all a strategy that is being played out in front of you. It's all about timing in the market.

Your an idiot. Stick their toe in to see what it is like? The questions asked were stupid and Lomb (Lame). Send out the baby CEO and maybe he will grow up in time when the real IPO comes. Mark Zuckerberg is more of an adult than this guy. The adults in the IPO market are going to have B+L child management for lunch. These guys are not going to cut it. To sell this company the front man has to be a seasoned professional. Zuckerman like child stars are going to cause the IPO to crash like facebook.
 






The professionals want to see the outside auditors opinion. This is maybe two months before the IPO. Financial news networks really should not even talk to B+L until the outside auditors opinion is issued.

Filing an IPO is a grueling process that rarely (even more rare in today's market) results in millions in gains. My prediction is the B+L will never file for an IPO. After the outside auditors opinion the company would be valued so low that the IPO would be withdrawn.

The real game is to make it look like the company is worth more than it is. By making it look like the company is healthy enough for an IPO it might get another company interested in buying it. Sale of a company outright is much safer, less risk and much less work than an IPO.
It is like the difference between selling your car for a set price vs putting the car up for auction. At auction you may get 1/4 of the price you want to sell it for.
 






the problem here is no company will pay WP what they would like to get as a return.

so they are forced to go IPO to get out from under this company.

They will go IPO and trade as much stock as possible for cash. And they will do it quickly to get as much cash as possible before quarterly numbers start coming out.

anyone that buys that stock after the open is a sucker.

look at great companies that IPO, they float very little stock to raise as much cash per share as possible and the founders keep a lot of share. Like Facebook.

Now if B&L ipos. guarantee they float a ton of shares to get as much cash up front as possible. Institutions will buy IPO shares. WP makes their money. Institutions dump shares on investors. they make money. individuals get burned when company numbers start coming out.

all this means you have time until a new board takes over, new management comes in. good for you as reps... you have job until new management whacks Rx.
 






B+L employees and B+L management have WP by the B----. Profits are to low to sell the company or go IPO. WP can not layoff or change management or it would warn potential buyers that something is wrong.

B+L is in a sweet spot for the employees and management. Guaranteed high salaries for at least two to three more years with job security. Not bad.

Too much success and you can lose your job. Too little success and you get laid off. For biotechnology companies, internet companies or any companies that can be bought or go IPO the best strategy is to be somewhere in the middle as a huge change to the company will mean a change to management and a reshuffling of the workforce.
