  • Leverage (liabilities/assets)36%

    A heavy debt load loaded onto the spin-off is a known risk; a clean balance sheet is favorable.

  • Tax-basis reportNone found

    A Form 8937 (basis allocation) accompanies tax-free §355 spin-offs — favorable for taxable holders.

  • Insider buying (post-spin)None recorded

    Officers/directors buying their own newly independent shares (Form 4) has historically preceded outperformance.

  • Time since spin-off7.9 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 ↗
