Why it moves the price
Converts an asset the market valued at a conglomerate discount into cash at a negotiated price, which can fund debt paydown or buybacks.
What separates a good call from a naive one
Compare the price achieved with the value the market implicitly assigned that unit — selling above it is instantly accretive to the story. Forced sales to service debt read very differently from opportunistic ones.
