Why it moves the price
Separating businesses lets each be valued on its own economics rather than a conglomerate average, and gives each management team focused incentives.
What separates a good call from a naive one
Spin-offs are often forced sellers' events — index funds dump the smaller entity mechanically at separation, which historically creates opportunity in the spun-off shares. Check which entity keeps the debt.
