Australian Clinical Labs (ACL AU) / Healius (HLS AU): Round 2?
- Reportedly, Australian Clinical Labs (ACL AU) and Healius (HLS AU) may reload a merger.
- The 2023 merger of the second and third-largest pathology plays was blocked by the ACCC. Any follow-up merger will similarly be blocked unless the combined entity jettisons certain ops.
