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":"Why Private Equity Is Buying Up Independent Pharmacies","slug":"why-private-equity-is-buying-up-independent-pharmacies","published_at":"2026-06-23T04:40:59+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/why-private-equity-is-buying-up-independent-pharmacies","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-0069.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0069.mp3","summary":"Episode 69 of The Buyout Show with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna examine the wave of private equity acquisitions of independent pharmacies, focusing on the specific strategy of roll-ups like the one led by Oak Street Health's former executives. They discuss the economics: how a single independent pharmacy generates roughly $3-5 million in revenue but only 8-12% EBITDA margins, and how consolidation into a 50-plus location entity can boost margins to 20% through centralized purchasing and back-office efficiencies. They also touch on the regulatory risks, including the FTC's recent scrutiny of pharmacy benefit manager practices.
