At the risk of sounding a bit mean, CareFusion (NYSE:CFN)
doesn't get all that much attention in the market. The company has a
solid business between its operations in pharmaceutical dispensing,
infusion, respiratory care, and procedural disposables, but it never
really seems to get much attention unless/until there's another round of
news about infusion pumps – a business where rivals like Baxter (NYSE:BAX) and Hospira (NYSE:HSP) have seen recalls that benefited CareFusion.
That has changed very recently, though, as CareFusion seems to be a
key potential acquirer for at least two medical device businesses known to
be on the block – ICU Medical (NSDQ:ICUI) and Smiths Group's (LON:SMIN)
Smith Medical. CareFusion has long been an active acquirer and recently
not only reaffirmed its commitment to future deals, but a willingness
to do larger deals than before. While both ICU Medical and Smiths
Medical make solid sense for CareFusion, both deals have certain
drawbacks as well.
