Rumor has it that Nortel Networks (OTC: NRTLQ) will sell its enterprise division in the near future.

This would be part of a broader plan to break the company apart instead of trying to restructure its way out of bankruptcy. The company is planning to sell its CDMA and LTE wireless businesses to Nokia (NYSE: NOK) for $650 million -- the first unit sale since the January bankruptcy filing.

HealthSouth Corporation (NYSE: HLS), the Alabama-based rehabilitation company, is close to completing a massive restructuring after years of tough times.

New management, three divestitures to be completed by the end of 2007 and a soon-to-be-more-friendly approach from Medicare and Medicaid, should allow this stock to perform nicely during the next three-to-five years.

HealthSouth was a boom-bust stock as former CEO Richard Scrushy built the diversified healthcare company into one of the larger and faster growing healthcare companies in the US during the 1990s. However, a number of financial irregularities came back to haunt Scrushy and his shareholders, leading to the stock tanking.

New management was brought in earlier this decade--well-respected execs from HCA--who first had to address the legal and accounting issues that plagued the company. Then last year the company announced it would begin selling non-core assets and become a focused rehab business.

The divestitures are for the most part completed and now the last part of the puzzle needs to be put in place. Medicare and Medicaid need to get the correct reimbursement rates so this very important industry can serve customers effectively and earn a return on investment. As boomers get older and stay more active, the rehab service that HealthSouth provides will become more and more important.

HealthSouth's stock ran up to $25 in anticipation of its three divestitures but has sold off to $20.50. Use this weakness to buy the stock, this could be a multi-bagger in the next few years.
