spinoffs

A spinoff takes place when a company decides to get rid of a portion of its asset base, possibly because it wants to focus its activities elsewhere, but is unable to sell the assets for a price that it feels reflects their value. Instead, the parent company sets the assets up as a separate company, then hands out shares in that publicly listed firm to its current investors.

Chemical giant DowDuPont continues to plan for its split into three new businesses, following last year’s big merger.


The stock has suffered in the past few months over concerns trade disputes could slow global growth. Cyclical industrial manufacturers, such as automakers, are the company’s major customers and they depend on that growth.
