How Spin-Offs Create More Value Than Sell-Offs

Lucas and Luna dissect the structural difference between a spin-off and a sell-off, using the 2025–2026 GE Vernova and Honeywell spin-offs as concrete examples. They explain why the market consistently rewards spin-offs with a 5–10 percent pop on the first day, while sell-offs often trade flat. Lucas walks through the mechanics of a tax-free spin-off, the role of the Reverse Morris Trust, and why operational complexity drives the spin-off discount. Luna questions whether the spin-off premium is just a one-time arbitrage or a real value-creation event. The episode closes with a look at how independent operators can use spin-off logic when selling their own businesses. #SpinOff #SellOff #MergersAndAcquisitions #CorporateRestructuring #ReverseMorrisTrust #GEVernova #Honeywell #TaxFreeSpinOff #ValueCreation #Divestiture #BusinessStrategy #MAndA #CorporateFinance #Operator #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #TheAcquisitionTalk #Business Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
