Completion of Whole Blood Assets Sale to GVS Likely to Boost HAE Stock
Read MoreHide Full Article
Haemonetics (HAE - Free Report) recently completed the sale of its whole blood assets to GVS, S.p.A ("GVS"), a leading provider of advanced filtration solutions for highly critical applications. With this development, GVS now has the company’s portfolio of proprietary whole blood collection, processing and filtration solutions, along with its manufacturing facility in Covina, CA and related equipment and assets at its Tijuana, Mexico manufacturing site.
The transaction was announced last month and comprises a total cash consideration of up to $67.8 million, including $45.3 million upfront after giving effect to certain customary adjustments and up to $22.5 million in contingent earn outs over the next four years.
Potential Trend of HAE Stock Following the News
Since the announcement on Jan. 14, shares of Haemonetics have dropped 8.1%, closing at $73.49 last Friday. On a positive note, the latest development is backed by Haemonetics’ strong focus on portfolio evolution to enhance its leadership in commercial and non-commercial plasma and expand its presence in high-growth hospital markets. Accordingly, we expect the news to boost the market sentiment toward HAE stock.
Haemonetics has a market capitalization of $3.69 billion. The company’s earnings yield of 6.25% compares favorably with the industry’s 0.52% yield. In the trailing four quarters, it delivered an average earnings surprise of 2.82%.
More on HAE’s Asset Sale to GVS
The deal with GVS follows a long-standing partnership, which saw Haemonetics agreeing to sell its Fajardo, Puerto Rico, manufacturing operations to GVS in 2020. Another long-term supply and development agreement granted GVS exclusive rights to manufacture and supply the proprietary blood filters produced at the Fajardo facility for Haemonetics.

Meanwhile, the latest development will facilitate a smooth transition for Haemonetics' whole-blood customers worldwide while supporting the company's goals. Haemonetics' Blood Center business will continue to manufacture and provide customers with its full line of apheresis solutions for automated blood collection. These include devices and disposable kits that support a variety of apheresis collections, including platelets, plasma and red cells, and ensure efficient blood center operations.
Haemonetics aims to use the proceeds from this transaction for general corporate purposes and further investments in growth initiatives. The company will share more details on the financial impact of this transaction on its fiscal year 2025 guidance during its third-quarter earnings call.
Industry Prospects Favoring HAE Stock
Per a research report, the global apheresis market was valued at $2.4 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 8.3% through 2031. The market’s growth is being driven by the increase in demand for blood components globally and the surge in government initiatives toward blood donation.
