Every Spin-Off #4: Mobility Global, the CARFAX spin-off from S&P Global.
Comcast's cable networks on their own: CNBC, MS NOW, USA, Golf Channel, Fandango.
56 European separations on file, from FTSE companies to micro caps on First North, Spotlight and Euronext Growth.
Carve-out financials are rebuilt as if the business had always traded alone: allocated overhead, TSA pricing and stand-alone public-company costs.
The spin-off and the remaining parent are valued separately, together with the agreements that bind them.
An eight-factor rubric from the academic literature on spin-off returns: focus, leverage, information asymmetry, incentives, index selling.
Every price target carries a date, a horizon and its assumptions, and stays published.
