Goodman Global (NYSE: GGL), a residential HVAC equipment producer, announced that private equity firm Hellman & Friedman has agreed to acquire the firm for $25.60 per share in an all cash offer.
Speculation of a potential sale of the GGL in-house distribution to Watsco (NYSE: WSO) reached a fever pitch in June but quieted along with the aforementioned GGL deal prospects. Suntrust Robinson Humphrey believes the attention to the possibility will accelerate again, particularly given today\\\'s Watsco investor day in New York.
Suntrust Robinson Humphrey believes private equity may now be coming to the Building Supply industry. The analyst said, "...valuations in our group have been falling and housing won\\\'t deteriorate forever making our space attractive to private equity once again."
