Spin-off signals
score 2/7 favorable · factors, not advice- Size vs parent (revenue)~9.2% of parent
Smaller spin-offs draw more forced selling from holders who can't keep them — the classic mispricing edge.
- Leverage (liabilities/assets)61%
A heavy debt load loaded onto the spin-off is a known risk; a clean balance sheet is favorable.
- Return on capital employed-14.9%
EBIT ÷ capital employed — the quality metric the spin-off scorecard research weighs most.
- Operating margin-27.4%
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.
- Time since spin-off10.2 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 ↗
