☆ Op-ed: Here’s why a sale of Bausch + Lomb could lead to a windfall for Bausch Health investors
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-17 | by ( Kenneth Squire | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +7 min

Bausch + Lomb parent company Bausch Health is spinning off the eye-care company with an upcoming IPO which will list on the New York Stock Exchange and TSX with the ticker symbol “BLCO”. This would greatly benefit BLCO stockholders, of which Bausch Health is the largest. As an 88% owner of BLCO, Bausch Health's value derived from such a sale would be $12.32 billion. Adding the value of the proceeds from BLCO sale, the Xifaxan cash flows and RemainCo yields a total value of $25.93 billion for Bausch Health. After subtracting 100% of the Bausch Health debt, that would yield an equity value of $10.49 billion or $28.19 per share.

Here's a rapid-fire update on all 36 stocks in Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust, the portfolio we use for the CNBC Investing Club. Apple remains an "own it, don't trade it" stock, Jim said. Halliburton (HAL): Given we just added a new stock to the portfolio, Jim said Halliburton may be the stock we look to cut ties with. The lesson with P & G is that, sometimes, there's nothing to do but hold a stock, Jim said. Stanley Black & Decker (SWK): The maker of DeWalt and Craftsman tools is one of the best bargains in our portfolio, Jim said.

All three major averages advanced for the week, powered by strong mega-cap earnings and favorable inflation data. Looking to next week, earnings season enters its second half with the last of our mega-caps — Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) — set to report on Thursday. We'll get a better read on the employment picture on Wednesday with the ADP report and then, more importantly, on Friday's nonfarm payrolls report for July. Thursday after the close brings us to the main events of the week: Earnings from Apple and Amazon. For those looking to review first quarter performance ahead of these releases, be sure to keep our first-quarter earnings report card handy.

Here's a rapid-fire update on all 35 stocks in Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust, the portfolio we use for the CNBC Investing Club. Coterra Energy (CTRA): At roughly 10 times forward earnings, Jim said he'd classify Coterra shares as dirt cheap. Estee Lauder (EL): We're downgrading Estee Lauder to a 2 rating Wednesday, meaning we're no longer recommending investors buy the stock at current levels. But we're sticking with Estee Lauder because eventually we expect China's economy to turn around, and with it EL's stock price. The semiconductor firm, which has seen its stock price nearly triple this year, is reportedly considering taking a long-term stake in chip designer Arm Holdings.
