News Breaks | | | | January 18, 2013 | | 09:27 EDT |  | LIFE, RHHBY, TMO, GE | Life Technologies potential buyers could have better options, says Piper Jaffray
After Life Technologies (LIFE) said it hired two investment banks to aid in its annual strategic review, Piper Jaffray said it believes a takeover or leveraged buyout is potentially in the works. Piper said it sees several potential acquirers for Life, listing Roche (RHHBY), Thermo Fisher (TMO) and General Electric (GE) as possibly making strategic sense. However, Piper says the slower growing Research Consumables business makes up 43% of Life's revenue. As such, it believes an acquirer interested in the faster growing next-gen sequencing business has better options. Piper has a Neutral rating on shares of Life Technologies. | |
