In recent months, companies such as Olam Group Ltd ,Yangzijiang Shipbuilding and LHN Limited are undertaking spin-offs.
The author has given 3 key reasons why companies undertake spin-offs:
1. To raise additional funds that can be used to drive further growth of the business.
2.Spinning off a division also helps to crystallise its value better, as investors can now view the spun-out business as a separate entity.
3. each business can then embark on its separate growth strategies independent of one another, thus streamlining the corporate strategies and decision-making processes for each management team.
Shareholders of the original entity usually receive free shares of the spun-out businesses.
YZJ stock price has dropped to half after spin off, so I am not sure the spinning off of companies is really helping the shareholders or not.
