Spin-off signals

score 0/7 favorable · factors, not advice
  • Focus-increasingNo — both Industrials

    Spin-offs into a different sector than the parent (pure-plays) have historically outperformed diversifying ones.

  • Size vs parent (revenue)~162% of parent

    Smaller spin-offs draw more forced selling from holders who can't keep them — the classic mispricing edge.

  • Return on capital employed2.9%

    EBIT ÷ capital employed — the quality metric the spin-off scorecard research weighs most.

  • Operating margin1.9%

    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)None recorded

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

  • Time since spin-off4.8 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 ↗
