Brief Business Description: SunHealthcare provides nursing, rehabilitative and related specialty healthcare services principally to the senior population in the United States. Sun's core business is to provide inpatient services through 203 centres across 25 States.
Investment Thesis: SUNH is currently trading at a large discount (~45-65%) to its intrinsic value as derived through a Sum of the Parts using current comparable trading multiples of 9 skilled nursing operators.
Catalyst: SUNH spun off its real estate assets on November 5th, 2010 into a separately traded healthcare REIT (SBRA). SBRA has rerated since the spin off and seems to be fairly valued based upon publicly traded comps.
Risks to Thesis:The valuation methodology is based on a relative value approach and therefore provides for significant downside if the market is overvaluing the sector as a whole. Mitigating factors are:
I am using the lowest multiple of peers to derive my intrinsic value.
Using a conservative 7x EV/EBIT, you still get ~40% upside.
