Spin-off signals
score 2/7 favorable · factors, not advice- Leverage (liabilities/assets)63%
A heavy debt load loaded onto the spin-off is a known risk; a clean balance sheet is favorable.
- Return on capital employed9.5%
EBIT ÷ capital employed — the quality metric the spin-off scorecard research weighs most.
- Operating margin12%
Profitability of the standalone business, from its own SEC filings.
- Tax-basis reportNone found
A Form 8937 (basis allocation) accompanies tax-free §355 spin-offs — favorable for taxable holders.
- Insider buying (post-spin)1 open-market buy
Officers/directors buying their own newly independent shares (Form 4) has historically preceded outperformance.
- Activist holder13D on file
An activist with a 5%+ stake (Schedule 13D) is a potential value-unlock catalyst.
- Time since spin-off14.7 years
Studies find the spin-off return premium concentrates in roughly the first one to three years.
Factors the spin-off research literature (Greenblatt; Cusatis-Miles-Woolridge; Desai-Jain) associates with outcomes — computed from this company's own SEC filings, shown as factors, not a recommendation. The premium is debated and not guaranteed. How we compute these ↗
