RE:RE:RE:Future Market Cap? Crawford is not a finance guy. He should have let Hardik answer the question on valuation multiples. Suggesting Apria's takeover multilpe of 7x is appropriate contradicts Quipt's own slide deck of 11x. Blackstone wants to liquidate, probably to rotate to other sectors.
In absolute terms a 7x multiple is equivalent to a 14% cash yield and 11x = 9% cash yield. There are lots of investors willing to accept 9% cash yield for a stable healthcare stock.
