According to people familiar with the matter, Baxter International Inc BAX is reportedly in talks to buy Hill-Rom Holdings Inc HRC.
The talks are at an early stage, some of the people said, and there’s no guarantee a deal will be reached.
It would be pretty substantial should there be one, as Hill-Rom has a market value of about $8 billion.
Hill-Rom has already rebuffed a $144-per-share bid from Baxter, Wall Street Journal reported.
Price Action: HRC stock is +9.31% 135.30, while BAX shares are down 0.10% at $82.03 during the market session on the last check Wednesday.
