Bausch Health The news: Bausch Health reported third-quarter results before the opening bell Thursday.
Given the latter's roughly $4.73 billion market capitalization, Bausch Health's stake is worth approximately $4.2 billion.
The reason behind Bausch Health trading consistently below the valuation of its BLCO stake is debt.
Secured debt means that Bausch Health has put up assets as collateral, meaning in the event of default the lenders take ownership of the collateralized assets.
