<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Notes From The Block</h3>
New data suggests that, after several volatile years, the behavioral health sector is regaining favor among strategic and financial buyers.
In the first quarter, 47 transactions were reported, including 34 mergers and acquisitions. That&#8217;s the highest M&amp;A volume since the fourth quarter of 2022, according to investment banker Kevin Taggart.
In <a href="https://www.mertztaggart.com/post/q1-2025-behavioral-health-m-a-report">a blog post</a> published this week, Taggart explained that renewed interest in the intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and autism segments was a key driver of the momentum. The firm tallied 12 transactions in Q1, the highest level since 2021.
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy providers, in particular, are back in high demand. 
"The dust has seemed to settle" following the pandemic-era wage inflation and a wave of bankruptcies among large ABA providers, Taggart, a managing partner at Mertz Taggart, wrote. That shift has led to heightened buyer interest, especially in the wake of major exits.
The mental health subsector continues to show strong and steady deal flow, too. Twenty-nine transactions (19 M&amp;A and 10 growth investments) were announced in Q1, roughly matching the 30 deals reported in Q4 2024. 
Demand for psychiatric hospitals is particularly robust, though limited supply constrains deal volume. "We've had more groups ask us for psych hospitals since Q1 this year than probably any quarter in the last three or four years," Taggart said. "But there are fewer smaller operators out there."
Taggart also pointed to an ongoing trend: sustained investor appetite for high-valuation growth deals. "Money has continued to pour into these growth deals, which surprised us a bit," he said, signaling continued bullish sentiment across behavioral health verticals.

<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

Forecasting The Future: 6 Analyst Projections For Hologic

Needham analyst Mike Matson reiterates Hologic (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOLX#NASDAQ">HOLX</a>) from Hold to Hold.

Reiteration

Needham Reiterates Hold on Hologicto Hold

Private equity firms TPG and Blackstone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>) recently bid to acquire Hologic Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOLX#NASDAQ">HOLX</a>), valuing the U.S. medical technology company at over $16 billion.
Hologic is an American medical technology company primarily focused on women&#8217;s health. It sells medical devices for diagnostics, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care" rel="noreferrer noopener">surgery, and imaging</a>.
While Hologic rejected the initial nonbinding offer, citing sources, the Financial Times writes that the negotiations could resume.
Benzinga reached out to Hologic for comments.

The proposed buyout valued Hologic between $16.3 billion and $16.7 billion, including debt, and would have priced shares at $70 to $72—well above the company&#8217;s closing price of $54.28 on Friday.
The FT report adds that if successful, the deal would have ranked among the largest leveraged buyouts of the year.
Despite the generous premium, Hologic declined the approach. Its stock has dropped about 24% this year, weighed down by U.S. tariffs and softening demand.
Hologic reported adjusted earnings of $1.03 per share for the second quarter of 2025, the same as last year, beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $1.02</a>. Sales decreased 1.2% year over year to $1.05 billion, beating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45149552/hologic-announces-financial-results-for-second-quarter-of-fiscal-2025" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus of $1 billion</a>.
Hologic lowered fiscal 2025 adjusted earnings per share guidance from $4.25-4.35 to $4.15-4.25 compared to consensus of $4.26, based on tariffs and geopolitical conditions.
The company reaffirmed sales guidance of $4.05 billion-$4.10 billion compared to the consensus of $4.08 billion.
Hologic expects third-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.04-1.07 per share versus consensus of $1.10 and sales of $1 billion-1.01 billion compared to the consensus of $1.03 billion.
The FT report <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/f4d12c75-1a54-4d8c-8aa6-f863cbdc4aab" rel="noreferrer noopener">noted</a> that CEO MacMillan acknowledged in the company&#8217;s recent quarterly earnings call that the business had endured &#8220;a tumultuous few months from a macroeconomic and policy perspective.&#8221; Still, it emphasized that the firm is making progress.
Hologic has long been viewed as a possible takeover target. Activist investor Carl Icahn acquired a 12.5% stake in 2013, prompting the company to adopt a poison pill strategy. Icahn later secured two board seats and influenced leadership changes, including Steve MacMillan&#8217;s appointment as CEO.
Price Action: HOLX stock is up 15.1% at $62.48 at the last check Tuesday.

The bond market drove a major sentiment shift. U.S. 30-year Treasury yields sank 10 basis points to 4.93%, falling below the psychologically key 5% threshold for the first time in days. 
The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) rallied 1.5%, eyeing the strongest daily gain since late February 2025. 
This move follows a surprise development in Japan, where the Ministry of Finance announced a reduction in the issuance of longer-dated government bonds. That decision triggered an 18-basis-point drop in Japan's 30-year yield, creating a ripple effect that eased pressure across global fixed-income markets.
The sharp decline in yields helped equities rally across the board. The S&amp;P 500 rose 1.9%, extending May&#8217;s gains to more than 6%. The benchmark is now tracking its strongest monthly performance since November 2023.
Technology and small-cap stocks outpaced broader benchmarks, adding momentum to the rally. Every sector in the S&amp;P 500 traded higher on the day. 
Among the mega-caps, Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) stood out with a 6.4% gain, reclaiming price levels last seen in mid-February. 
As equity and bond sentiment improved, traditional safe-haven assets lost appeal. Gold prices fell 1%, slipping below $3,300 per ounce. The move reflects investors rotating out of defensive plays amid increasing appetite for risk.
In energy markets, crude oil dropped 1.5% to $60.50 a barrel, while copper prices slid 2.1%, signaling some caution in industrial demand despite the bullish tone in equities.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) traded near $110,000, remaining close to its all-time highs.

Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Hologic has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Hologic's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Hologic's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.11%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h3>Evaluating Hologic P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 57.63 in the Health Care Equipment &amp; Supplies industry, Hologic Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 22.76. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1746464421_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

투자자들이 경제 낙관론, 기업 실적 호조, 트럼프 행정부의 주요 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">정책 변화</a> 등을 소화하면서 S&amp;P 500 지수는 1월 마지막 주에 6,100포인트를 돌파하며 사상 최고치를 경신하고 있다.
이러한 시장 상승세의 중심에는 도널드 트럼프가 있다. <a href="//www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43085323/trump-sworn-in-as-47th-president-declares-golden-age-of-america-begins-right-now"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">새로 취임한</a> 제47대 미국 대통령은 <a href="//www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/01/43086509/trump-unleashes-executive-orders-on-border-security-oil-drilling-domestic-manufacturing-in-first-acts-as-president"" target="_blank" rel="noopener">무역, 이민, 석유</a>를 겨냥한 일련의 행정명령으로 첫 주를 시작했다. 일부 행정명령은 즉각적인 효과가 있는 것도 있고, 상징적인 것도 있으며, 일부는 법적 문제에 <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/01/21/g-s1-44023/trump-birthright-citizenship-immigration-order-14th-amendment">직면해 있다.</a>
화요일에 트럼프는 5,000억 달러 규모의 프로젝트인 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/sector-etfs/25/01/43135764/trumps-500-billion-stargate-ai-plan-puts-3-etfs-in-focus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI 스타게이트 계획을 공개</a>하기도 했다. 그리고 목요일, 트럼프는 다보스 <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKBWckduL2k" target="_blank" rel="noopener">화상 연설</a>을 통해 미국이 "인공지능과 암호화폐의 세계 수도"가 될 것이라고 선전했다.
한편, 조용한 흐름도 나타나고 있다. 1월 마지막 주는 역사적으로 주식에 긍정적인 시기였으며, 데이터에 따르면 몇몇 S&amp;P 500 종목이 큰 폭의 상승세를 보일 수 있다.
<h3>1월 마지막 주에 대한 낙관론 촉발</h3>
계절성이 항상 신뢰할 수 있는 시장 예측 변수는 아니지만, 패턴이 거의 한 세기 동안 지속될 때는 주의를 기울여야 한다. Seasonax의 데이터에 따르면 지난 97년 동안 1월은 평균 1.1%의 상승률로 60%의 시간 동안 플러스 영역에서 마감했다.
더욱 놀라운 점은 이러한 상승의 절반 이상이 월 마지막 주에 발생했다는 것다. 1928년 이후 S&amp;P 500 지수는 1월 마지막 주에 평균 0.6% 상승했으며, 61%의 기간 동안 상승 마감했다.
<h3>1월 말 상승 이력이 있는 주식 5종목</h3>
과거 패턴이 미래를 좌우하지는 않지만 종종 일치하는 경우가 있다. 20년간의 시장 데이터에 따르면 S&amp;P 500 주식 중 5개 종목이 1월 마지막 주에 꾸준히 초과수익을 기록했다.
