United Rentals Considers Sale; Chief Hicks to Retire (Update3)
April 10 (Bloomberg) -- United Rentals Inc., the biggest U.S. construction-equipment rental company, put itself up for sale after its shares plunged and said Chief Executive Officer Wayland Hicks will retire in June. The shares rose 17 percent, the most in almost three years. The company is considering options ``because the stock is undervalued,'' said Investor Relations Vice President Chuck Wessendorf. UBS AG and Credit Suisse Group have been hired for advice, Greenwich, Connecticut-based United Rentals said today in a statement. Shares of United Rentals, which has a market value of $2.63 billion, fell 22 percent in the past year before today. The company rents equipment from almost 700 locations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, supplying construction companies, utilities and homeowners in what United estimates was a $33 billion market.
eHealth: Bring us your uninsured
Vip Patel still isn't sure what made him sick shortly after he graduated Stanford University in 1985, but he does know why he didn't go to a doctor: He had no health insurance. Stricken with what he believes was food poisoning, Patel stayed on his college roommate's floor and grew a lot sicker before recovering. That experience laid the groundwork for eHealth Inc., which Patel founded in 1997 as a tool to deliver health care to the uninsured by helping people find medical insurance over the Internet. According to the Census Bureau, 46.6 million Americans don't have health insurance. That number is climbing as more businesses cut workers off from employer-provided health care because of escalating medical costs. In 2000, 69 percent of employers bought health insurance for their employees -- last year, that proportion fell to 61 percent.
