The value to the market is to business owners looking for an exit. The PE hits a
homerun about 10% of the time which has been enough to keep investors coming back. Although saturation of PE firms is making this more difficult.
PEs aren't going around making great companies out of their acquisitions in general.

The stats about bankruptcy is super misleading- they’re buying a lot more distressed assets.
