10:03 AM EDT, 09/25/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Blackstone (BX), Warburg Pincus and Nordic Capital are among firms vying to acquire a stake in French diagnostics provider Sebia, which could be valued at about 5 billion euros ($5.85 billion), Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

The potential sale could involve all or part of the business, depending on whether existing investors retain holdings, the report said.

Canada's Caisse de Depots et Placement du Quebec is considering the sale of its 40% stake acquired in 2017 from Astorg, according to the report, with other shareholders weighing options after looking at the bids.

Non-binding offers were submitted Monday with banks and private credit funds lining up debt packages of around 2 billion euros, Bloomberg said.

Blackstone, Warburg Pincus and Nordic Capital did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
