Are big changes on the horizon for Siemens Healthineers?
Siemens is expected to list a minority of its healthcare division, Siemens Healthineers, in the first half of 2018. The division is looking to cut costs now ahead of the move.
The listing is expected to value Siemens Healthineers at approximately $49 billion, according to Reuters. The funds would help Siemens pay for “its own investments and acquisitions as the industry moves toward more personalized care.”

Two sources familiar with the situation say the sale is planned for March.
