Hologic Acquired by Private Equity — Healthcare M&A

Private equity investors have announced a merger acquisition of Hologic, a diagnostics imaging business in the healthcare sector, for $18B. Hologic develops medical imaging and radiology diagnostics technologies used across clinical settings, supporting demand for advanced imaging solutions. The private equity acquisition is positioned as a healthcare M&A step to expand capabilities in diagnostics imaging and strengthen the buyer’s portfolio in the U.S. market. Investors have filed legal action seeking to block the Hologic acquisition, adding regulatory and litigation risk to the announced merger acquisition timeline.
