Aspen sells a few more non-core assets

Aspen is selling more non-core assets, this time to Stride Entities in Australia: Divestment Of Portfolio Of Branded And Generic Products To Strides Entities. They are doing two transactions the first is a deal to sell 130 products for A$265 million, which contributed A$26 million in pre-tax profit. The second is the selling of 6 branded products for $92 million, which contributed $10 million in pre-tax profits. Given that these are non-core assets and they are being sold for what would appear good prices, I think it is a good move. These funds can be used to pay down debt or used to purchase other assets that Aspen feel they can get better growth and value out of. Remember that they are still trading under a cautionary because there is a possible baby formula deal in the pipe line, which could be huge and require the funds that they are freeing up. The management team have proved that they are solid and shrewd deal makers, we back them to know where the best returns can be made for shareholders.
