Morgan Stanley recently ran a screen to identify potential LBO candidates. The screen looks for beaten-up stocks with lots of cash, reasonable debt levels and strong cash flows.
The trend has changed in that the old standards of being non-cyclical, a small or mid-cap company with low debt is out the window now. Buyers are paying higher multiples, are leveraging companies up even more and are looking at large cap, mega deals as well. Here are 9 potential candidates as a result of Morgan Stanley's screen.
