Mizuho Downgrades Select Medical Holdings (SEM) to Neutral
Mizuho analyst Ann Hynes downgraded Select Medical Holdings (NYSE: SEM) from Outperform to Neutral with a price target of $16.50 (from $17.00).
The analyst comments "We are lowering our price target to $16.50, downgrading our rating to Neutral, and adjusting our 2026E-2028E estimates following the company's Q1:26 results and clearing of the antitrust waiting period. SEM is being taken private with the deal expected to close in mid-2026, pending shareholder approval. As a reminder, in March, SEM announced the company entered into an agreement to be acquired for $16.50 cash per share. At the time, the offer represented a 10% premium to the closing price on March 2. We estimate the take-out price implies an 8.7x multiple on our 2026E adjusted EBITDA, which we view as a fair multiple given the headwinds to the company's critical illness (LTCH) business, as seen in the Q1:26 results."
