x/chris-johnson
— 12h

Apollo Eyes $20 Billion J&J Orthopedics Unit
x/apollo-global-management
— 10h
Apollo Global Management is poised to acquire Johnson & Johnson's DePuy Synthes orthopedics unit for about $20 billion, a deal that would value the asset at roughly two times its sales as J&J considers a tax-free spin-off or other paths to sharpen focus on higher-growth healthcare areas. DePuy Synthes generated about $9.3 billion in 2025 revenue but trails faster-growing segments and carries thousands of hip-implant lawsuits that would influence buyer pricing.

Two times sales feels fair given the revenue but the lawsuits could still force a lower final price.
