Each episode dissects a specific transaction, from sourcing to exit, using real numbers, term sheets, and public filings. The show serves founders weighing an offer, analysts building models, and investors tracking the industry. Expect critical discussions on valuation multiples, earnouts, debt covenants, and the cultural friction between PE operators and portfolio-company management. Lucas, a journalist with a decade covering dealmaking, guides the numbers; Luna, an engaged interlocutor, presses on execution risk and founder psychology. Together they ask: What separates a value-destroying roll-up from a platform that compounds for a decade? No hype, no jargon — just the tradecraft of buying and scaling businesses. #PrivateEquity #LBO #RollUp #BuyAndBuild #PE #DueDiligence #Valuation #MergersAndAcquisitions #FamilyBusinessExit #SearchFund #EBITDA #DealSourcing #SMB #BusinessAcquisition #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T04:18:12.773861+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630"},"episode":{"title":"How Private Equity Is Buying Up Marijuana Dispensaries","slug":"how-private-equity-is-buying-up-marijuana-dispensaries","published_at":"2026-06-24T16:49:53+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/how-private-equity-is-buying-up-marijuana-dispensaries","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0072.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0072.mp3","summary":"Episode 72 of The Buyout Show explores the growing wave of private equity investment in legal cannabis dispensaries across the United States. With federal rescheduling on the horizon in mid-2026, firms like Curaleaf and Green Thumb Industries are consolidating smaller operators at a rapid clip. Lucas and Luna break down the economics: how the average dispensary acquisition multiple has climbed from 6x to 9x EBITDA in two years, the role of state-level licensing bottlenecks, and why PE firms see cannabis as an infrastructure play rather than a growth bet. They also examine the risks — from regulatory whiplash to 280E tax burdens — and debate whether this roll-up mirrors the urgent-care consolidation wave or something entirely new. A concrete case: the recent acquisition of a 12-store chain in Michigan for $85 million by a New York-based PE firm. Specific, data-driven, and grounded in the week's news. #PrivateEquity #Cannabis #Dispensaries #RollUp #Marijuana #Curaleaf #GreenThumbIndustries #Michigan #Acquisition #Business #Finance #Investment #Regulation #280E #Consolidation #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheBuyoutShow Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 72 of The Buyout Show explores the growing wave of private equity investment in legal cannabis dispensaries across the United States.
