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":"Private Equity Is Buying Up Taxi Medallions Again","slug":"private-equity-is-buying-up-taxi-medallions-again","published_at":"2026-06-27T16:50:38+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/private-equity-is-buying-up-taxi-medallions-again","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-0078.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0078.mp3","summary":"Episode 78 of The Buyout Show examines the quiet return of private equity to taxi medallions. After the 2014 medallion bubble burst, many assumed the industry was a cautionary tale. But with Uber and Lyft prices rising, city medallion caps holding supply tight, and medallion prices at a fraction of peak levels, firms like Marble Arch and Stuart Financial Group are reopening pools of institutional capital. Lucas breaks down the numbers: medallions in New York City that traded at $1.3 million in 2013 are now changing hands between $100,000 and $200,000, yielding double-digit cash-on-cash returns for operators running fleets efficiently. Lunapushes back on the risk of another over-leverage cycle, and they discuss whether the regulatory moat of medallion systems is actually stronger now than in the pre-Uber era. A focused look at one of the oldest asset classes in private equity getting a 2026 reboot. #PrivateEquity #TaxiMedallions #MarbleArchCapital #StuartFinancialGroup #NewYorkCity #Uber #Lyft #MedallionBubble #RegulatoryMoat #FleetOperations #CashOnCashReturns #Business #Finance #InvestmentStrategy #Transportation #AssetClass #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 78 of The Buyout Show examines the quiet return of private equity to taxi medallions.
