Upcoming Spinoffs List and Recent Spinoffs Completed in 2026

October 21, 2026: Abbott Plans to Spin Off Nutrition Business

Abbott (ABT) announced plans to separate its Nutrition business into an independent, publicly traded company through a tax-free distribution to Abbott shareholders. The separation is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.

Spinoff Snapshot

Parent: Abbott (ABT)

Abbott is a diversified global healthcare company with businesses in medical devices, diagnostics, established pharmaceuticals and nutrition. After the separation, Abbott will be more focused on its higher-growth healthcare businesses, including cardiovascular and neuromodulation devices, biowearables, diagnostics and established medicines.

SpinCo: Abbott Nutrition

The new Nutrition company will be an independent, publicly traded nutrition business with approximately $8.5 billion in annual sales, around 16,000 employees and 14 manufacturing facilities.

Its portfolio will include major brands such as:

• Similac – infant nutrition
• PediaSure – pediatric nutrition
• Ensure – adult nutrition
• Glucerna – diabetes-focused nutrition
• Pedialyte – hydration products

The business will operate across developed and emerging markets and focus on growth areas including metabolic health, prevention and wellness.

What Abbott Retains

Following the separation, Abbott will retain its:

• Medical Devices business
• Diagnostics business
• Established Pharmaceuticals business

The remaining Abbott is expected to generate approximately $42 billion in annual sales and have a faster-growth and higher-margin profile. 

Reason for the Separation

From an investor perspective, Abbott is separating Nutrition because the business has a different growth profile, capital needs and innovation cycle from the rest of the company.

Nutrition is more tied to consumer health trends, brand building and product innovation, while the remaining Abbott is focused on faster-growing areas like medical devices, biowearables, diagnostics and pharmaceuticals.

By separating them, Nutrition can invest more directly in its own growth opportunities, while Abbott can focus capital on its higher-growth healthcare businesses. Management believes the split should give both companies more flexibility and a clearer investment profile.

Structure

• Abbott will distribute Nutrition shares to its shareholders in a tax-free separation, leaving investors with shares in both companies. 
• Distribution ratio, record date, ticker and exchange have not yet been announced. 
• Abbott expects one-time separation costs, amount not yet disclosed. 
• Goldman Sachs is financial advisor; Wachtell Lipton is legal counsel.

Leadership

Daniel Salvadori will become Chief Executive Officer of the new Nutrition company.

Salvadori currently serves as Abbott’s Executive Vice President and Group President, Established Pharmaceuticals and Nutritional Products. He joined Abbott in 2014 and previously led its Nutrition and international pharmaceutical businesses.

Reason: To separate two businesses with different growth, investment and innovation profiles, allowing Nutrition to pursue its own growth strategy while Abbott focuses on its higher-growth healthcare portfolio.

October 19, 2026: Silgan Sets Up Path to Separate Metal Packaging Business

Silgan Holdings (SLGN) announced a transaction that will combine its Metal Containers segment and Food & Beverage Flat Cap Closures business with Trivium Packaging to create Silgan Metal Containers and Closures (Silgan MCC / MetalCo).

Silgan MCC will initially be structured as a partnership. Silgan will own 60%, while American Industrial Partners (AIP) will own 40% and contribute $1.025 billion in cash. Silgan will receive about $2.263 billion in cash proceeds from MetalCo.

The structure gives Silgan flexibility over the eventual separation. It can choose either to spin off MetalCo itself or instead spin off Silgan’s non-MetalCo businesses, with either route intended to be tax-free.

Spinoff Snapshot

Parent: Silgan Holdings (SLGN)

Silgan is a global packaging company supplying metal containers, dispensing systems, closures and custom containers for food, beverage, beauty, healthcare and other consumer products.

Business being separated: Silgan Metal Containers and Closures (Silgan MCC / MetalCo)

Silgan MCC will combine:

• Silgan’s Metal Containers business
• Silgan’s Food & Beverage Flat Cap Closures business
• Trivium Packaging

The combined business is expected to form a roughly $7.3 billion global metal packaging platform, focused mainly on food and beverage packaging across North America and Europe.

What Silgan retains: Silgan’s Dispensing and Custom Containers businesses will remain outside MetalCo and will be combined into a new segment called Silgan Dispensing Solutions.

Structure: Silgan will contribute its Metal Containers and Closures business to MetalCo and receive 60% of the voting units, while AIP will contribute $1.025 billion for the remaining 40%. Silgan will also receive approximately $2.263 billion in cash from MetalCo.

1. Silgan has the right to pursue either a tax-free spin-off of MetalCo or a tax-free spin-off of Silgan’s non-MetalCo businesses.
2. A spin-off generally cannot occur before the second anniversary of closing unless both Silgan and AIP agree.
3. After 42 months from closing, AIP can formally request that Silgan pursue a spin-off. If Silgan does not proceed, AIP can use liquidity rights that may require Silgan to buy back part of AIP’s MetalCo stake.

The agreement also contemplates a possible IPO of MetalCo, meaning the business could become publicly traded through either an IPO or a spin-off.

Until an IPO or spin-off occurs, Silgan and AIP generally cannot transfer their MetalCo interests except under limited permitted circumstances.

Leadership / Governance: MetalCo’s board will have five directors, with three nominated by Silgan and two by AIP. Anthony J. Allott is expected to serve as non-executive chairman and interim CEO of MetalCo until a permanent CEO is appointed.

The new company will operate a capital-light lubricants and specialties business focused on technology, branded products, and distribution.

HF Sinclair will retire its Mississauga, Ontario base oil refinery by 2027 while retaining blending, packaging, R&D, and commercial operations. Base oil supply will come from strategic third-party agreements and HF Sinclair's Tulsa refinery.

Activist fund MAK Capital, led by Michael A. Kaufman, has urged the leadership of German biotech firm Evotec SE to list its US unit and speed up its cost cutting program after the shares have lost about 85% over the past five years.

“We believe a U.S.-listed Just Biologics would command a materially higher valuation, in excess of €1 billion ($1.2 billion), access a deeper investor base, provide Just Biologics with a cash infusion and dedicated currency for growth” and help retain talent at the Seattle based firm, MAK Capital said in a letter it sent to Evotec’s leadership earlier this month, according to a filing with the SEC.

Spinoff Snapshot

Parent: Evotec SE is evaluating a separation of Just – Evotec Biologics, its biologics development and manufacturing business.

Hong Kong's Fosun International said it intends to spin off its luxury resort, Atlantis ‌Sanya, and list it on the Shanghai Stock Exchange as a real estate investment trust. Reuters reported in 2024 that the company was looking to sell all or part of its luxury resort in southern China as part of its efforts to reduce debt, citing sources.

As of June 30, 2025, the group’s total debt rose to RMB 222.10 billion, increasing from the level reported at the end of December 2024.

Fosun stated that it plans to use Atlantis as the underlying asset for a Chinese commercial property REIT.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange has granted a waiver allowing the spinoff to proceed without providing existing shareholders with assured entitlement to the new REIT units, which would typically be required.

However, the proposed listing remains subject to regulatory approvals from the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Meanwhile, Fosun’s board is scheduled to meet on March 30 to announce its annual results for the year ended December 31, 2025.

New Fortress Energy (NFE) plans to spin off its Brazilian operations into a standalone entity (“BrazilCo”) as part of a broader recapitalization via a UK restructuring plan.

BrazilCo will focus on LNG importation, regasification, and power generation, anchored by key assets including the Barcarena cluster and the TGS terminal. The transaction is expected to close by mid-2026, subject to approvals, with no impact on ongoing operations.

Bloomberg reported that, Unilever is evaluating a potential separation of its food business as it looks to sharpen its focus on higher-growth segments such as beauty, personal care, and wellbeing. The company is working with advisers to review options, including a possible spin-off of its food assets.

Unilever’s food assets mainly include condiments, sauces, and cooking products such as Hellmann’s mayonnaise, Knorr soups, seasonings, and meal bases essentially everyday kitchen staples.

The food business, though higher-margin than the beauty and wellbeing business, does not meet Unilever's short-term goal ?to grow underlying sales by 4-6% each year.

Financial Times reported that Unilever and Kraft Heinz recently explored a potential merger of their food businesses, combining brands like Hellmann’s and Heinz, but discussions have since ended.

Update(s):

March 30, 2026: WSJ reported that Unilever is in advanced talks to combine its food business with McCormick & Company in a roughly $60 billion (including debt) Reverse Morris Trust transaction, effectively separating the division. Unilever shareholders would own about two-thirds of the combined entity, alongside a $16 billion cash component. This follows earlier Bloomberg reporting that Unilever was exploring a spin-off of its food unit.

March 31, 2026: Unilever announces the combination of Unilever Foods with McCormick

Bloomberg reported that Eaton Corp. is exploring strategic options for its vehicle business, including a potential sale or spinoff as it refocuses on higher-growth areas under its new CEO.  The company is working with an adviser, and the unit could be worth up to $5 billion in a transaction according to people familiar with the matter.

Update(s):

January 26, 2026: Eaton plans to separate its Vehicle and eMobility segments into a standalone, publicly traded company by Q1 2027 (tax-free to shareholders). The move supports CEO Paulo Ruiz’s 2030 strategy to focus Eaton on its higher-growth, higher-margin Electrical and Aerospace businesses. Post-spin, Eaton will prioritize capital toward data centers, utilities, infrastructure, and aerospace/defense, supported by recent acquisitions (Ultra PCS, Boyd Thermal).

The separation is expected to be immediately accretive to Eaton’s organic growth and operating margin at close.

Mobility will operate independently as a global supplier of powertrain, EV protection, and vehicle systems, with leading positions in commercial truck transmissions, clutches, and EV fuses. Management says the split will give both companies sharper strategic focus, tailored capital allocation, and clearer investment profiles. The transaction follows Eaton’s prior divestitures of Lighting (2020) and Hydraulics (2021).

Eaton will discuss the transaction alongside Q4 2025 earnings on Feb 3, 2026. Morgan Stanley is financial advisor; Paul Weiss and Hogan Lovells are legal advisors.

June 11, 2026: Dana Incorporated (DAN) announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with Eaton Corporation plc (ETN) to combine with Eaton's Mobility business in a transaction valued at approximately $5.1 billion.

Eaton shareholders will own at least 50.1% of the combined company, while Dana shareholders will own approximately 49.9%.

• Eaton will first separate its Mobility business through either a spin-off or split-off and then immediately merge it with Dana. The combined company will continue operating as Dana Incorporated and remain listed on the NYSE under the DAN ticker. 

• Eaton will receive approximately $1.1 billion in cash funded by new debt raised by the Mobility business before closing. 

• The combined company is expected to generate approximately $11 billion in 2026 revenue and $1.7 billion in adjusted EBITDA, including expected synergies. 

Leadership:

• Byron Foster will serve as CEO, Timothy Kraus will remain CFO, and Erin Rowse will become Chief Human Resources Officer of the combined company. Dana Chairman R. Bruce McDonald will serve as Executive Chairman. 

• The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to Dana shareholder approval, regulatory approvals, and customary closing conditions. The transaction is intended to be tax-free to both Eaton and Dana shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes

Strategic Rationale:

• The deal combines Dana and Eaton Mobility's vehicle parts businesses to create a larger supplier with a broader range of products for truck, commercial vehicle, and automotive customers.

• For Eaton, the transaction allows the company to exit its mobility business and focus on its faster-growing Electrical and Aerospace segments, while still benefiting from the combined company and receiving approximately $1.1 billion in cash.

Barrick Mining (B) said its board has authorized management to explore a partial IPO (carve-out) of a new subsidiary that would hold its premier North American gold assets.

If pursued, NewCo would include Barrick’s interests in Nevada Gold Mines, Pueblo Viejo, and the 100%-owned Fourmile gold discovery in Nevada. The company plans to list a small minority stake via IPO while retaining a controlling majority interest in NewCo.

Barrick said the move is part of a broader portfolio review to unlock shareholder value, particularly in North America, while continuing to invest in its global gold and copper assets. Interim CEO Mark Hill said the assets would create a pure-play North American gold company with significant growth potential.

Barrick will explore the IPO option through early 2026 and provide an update with its full-year 2025 results in February 2026. Any transaction would remain subject to board approval, market conditions, and regulatory clearances.

Update(s): 

January 23, 2025: Barrick’s plan to spin off or IPO its North American gold assets will hinge on partner Newmont, which holds contractual right-of-first-refusal and consent rights over the Nevada Gold Mines joint venture.

Under the agreement, Barrick cannot sell or transfer its stake in NGM without Newmont’s approval, and will also need Newmont to help fund the Fourmile project, a key asset in the proposed IPO.

The planned listing would include Nevada Gold Mines, Pueblo Viejo, and Fourmile, with the North American business valued at about $42 billion. The move follows a turbulent 2025 for Barrick, and comes as the company restructures under Interim CEO Mark Hill while searching for a permanent CEO. Barrick said it will update investors with its full-year results in February.

February 5, 2026: Barrick Mining Corp. plans to spin off its top North American gold assets in an initial public offering later this year as part of a strategic reset by the Canadian metals producer. The company said it will sell a minority stake in the new North American unit, targeting a late-2026 initial public offering.

Interim CEO Mark Hill was appointed as permanent chief executive officer and told investors on a call that Barrick plans to sell 10% to 15% of the entity.

February 9, 2026: Newmont Corporation is pressing Barrick Mining Corporation to improve performance at their Nevada Gold Mines joint venture before Barrick proceeds with a planned IPO spin-off of the assets, citing production declines, rising costs, and reduced asset value.

April 28, 2026: Barrick Mining Corporation plans to spin off its North American operations through a New York IPO by year-end, with a potential valuation exceeding $60 billion. The new entity will be primarily listed in New York with a secondary listing in Toronto, and Barrick will retain a majority stake.

The spin-off will include key assets such as Nevada Gold Mines, its Dominican Republic joint venture interests, and the Fourmile project.

The move is part of a broader strategy to separate lower-risk North American assets and unlock shareholder value, although ongoing tensions with Newmont Corporation over operations and asset integration remain a key consideration.

August 9, 2026: Barrick Mining is facing growing shareholder opposition to a proposed IPO of a minority stake in its prized North American assets, including its Nevada operations and Fourmile discovery. The company would retain majority ownership, but the deal could dilute existing shareholders’ exposure by as much as 15%. Investors argue the move risks handing future upside to new shareholders, while Barrick says a standalone listing could unlock higher valuations for its best assets.

August 10, 2026: Barrick Mining has settled its long-running dispute with Newmont over their Nevada Gold Mines joint venture, securing a $1.95 billion cash payment. The agreement clears a key governance hurdle and paves the way for Barrick to pursue a public listing of its North American gold assets, including its Nevada operations.

Associated British Foods announced that its Board is reviewing a potential spin-off of its Primark retail division from its food and agriculture businesses, as part of a broader strategic evaluation. The review is being led by Chairman Michael McLintock, with advisory support from Rothschild & Co. The Company is also engaging with its largest shareholder, Wittington Investments, which has indicated its intention to remain a majority owner of both entities in the event of a separation.

• Grocery brands: Twinings, Ovaltine
• Sugar operations: Global production and distribution (incl. British Sugar)

Business Mix: Primark generates nearly half of group revenue and the majority of earnings, while the food segment includes global sugar operations and brands such as Twinings and Ovaltine.

Context: The review follows slowing Primark sales and weaker sugar segment performance, which impacted recent results.

Update(s):

April 17, 2026: Associated British Foods is expected to outline plans to separate Primark from its food businesses as part of its structural review update on April 21, 2026.

April 21, 2026: Associated British Foods plc (ABF) annoiunced the board has decided it will demerge Primark from its food business, creating two separately listed companies with shareholders owning both.

The Board has reviewed the anticipated dis-synergies which in aggregate are currently expected to be below £45 million. One-off separation and transaction costs are expected to be in the region of £75 million. It is intended that both Primark and FoodCo will be listed on the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category of the London Stock Exchange and, given their scale, it is anticipated that both entities will be constituents of the FTSE 100.

Following the demerger, FoodCo will retain the Associated British Foods plc name.

Timetable and process: The Board’s intention is for the demerger to become effective before the end of 2027 calendar year and it is subject to the receipt of any necessary approvals and appropriate tax clearances. The separation of Primark from ABF is expected to be effected by way of a dividend demerger.

Management and governance: To ensure a smooth transition through the demerger process, the Board has asked ABF’s current Chair, Michael McLintock, to continue as Chair of ABF until the completion of the demerger.

Michael was appointed to the Board as a Director in November 2017 and as Chair in April 2018. The composition of both future boards will be determined and announced prior to the demerger effective date.

It is intended that George Weston will be Chief Executive of FoodCo and Eoin Tonge will be Chief Executive of Primark.

July 1, 2026: Associated British Foods said it continues to prepare for the planned spin-off of Primark. The company reaffirmed guidance across its businesses except for its Sugar division, where it expects a loss amid deteriorating market conditions after third-quarter sales fell 4% due to lower average selling prices in Europe.

Reuters reported that Ananym Capital is urging Baker Hughes (BKR) to spin off its oil field services and equipment unit, arguing the move could lift the stock by at least 60%. Co-founder Charlie Penner said the separation would unlock value, as the company trades at 9x 2026 EBITDA versus a 13x fair multiple.

Baker Hughes, formed from the 2017 merger with GE Oil & Gas, has two main segments: Oilfield Services & Equipment and Industrial & Energy Technology. 

Ananym co-founder Charlie Penner said the technologies segment, which drives most earnings, is undervalued due to a “sum-of-the-parts discount.”

The company said it values shareholder input and is conducting a broad review of its capital allocation and business structure.

October 13, 2026: J&J Favors Spin-off Over Sale

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) said it is leaning toward spinning off its DePuy Synthes orthopaedics business rather than selling it, believing a spin-off could create greater long-term shareholder value. The separation remains on track for mid-2027, although no final transaction structure or distribution terms have been announced. The update comes as J&J's MedTech division reported just 2.5% sales growth in Q3 2026, trailing its pharmaceutical business.

Scroll down for past updates, announcements, and filings.

Spin-off Snapshot

• Parent (JNJ): Global healthcare company operating pharmaceutical and medical technology businesses.
• Business to Be Separated (DePuy Synthes): Orthopaedics business manufacturing hip and knee implants, surgical instruments, and products for spine, trauma and joint reconstruction.
• Parent Retains: Innovative Medicine (pharmaceuticals) and the remaining MedTech businesses, including cardiovascular, surgery and vision care.
• Leadership: Namal Nawana, Worldwide President of DePuy Synthes, and Christina Zamarro, CFO, who joined from Goodyear.

October 14, 2025: Announcement

Johnson & Johnson said it plans to separate its slower-growing orthopedics business from the rest of the company within 18 to 24 months, giving its innovative drug and device operations more breathing room as the Trump administration pressures pharmaceutical companies to lower prices in the US.

The move comes as J&J announced third-quarter sales and earnings that modestly beat expectations, and raised revenue guidance for the full year. The pharmaceutical and medical technology company, though, kept its adjusted earnings guidance intact for 2025, saying it was absorbing higher taxes.

Standalone orthopaedics business would operate as DePuy Synthes.

April 14, 2026: Mid-2027 Timing Established

J&J said it was working toward a mid-2027 separation and continued evaluating all available transaction structures. Management said DePuy Synthes was showing improving operating momentum and that targeted investment in the business would continue ahead of separation. (Earnings Call Transcript)

Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) announced a definitive agreement to acquire JDE Peet’s (EURONEXT: JDEP) in an all-cash transaction valued at €15.7 billion (€31.85 per share, a 33% premium). The deal combines KDP’s Keurig single-serve platform with JDE Peet’s global coffee portfolio, creating a new global coffee leader.
Following the acquisition, KDP plans to separate into two U.S.-listed companies:

Global Coffee Co. – the world’s largest pure-play coffee company with ~$16B in net sales, $400M in expected cost synergies, and leadership across 100+ markets.

Beverage Co. – a North American refreshment beverage challenger with ~$11B in sales, iconic brands like Dr Pepper®, 7UP®, and Canada Dry®, and a robust DSD distribution network.

Both companies are expected to maintain investment-grade credit ratings, with the spin-off designed as a tax-free transaction for shareholders. The JDE Peet’s acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2026, with the coffee spin-off to follow soon after.

Updates(s)

October 13, 2025: Keurig Dr Pepper rose 3% after activist Starboard Value took a stake following the poorly received €15.7B JDE Peet’s deal, which has pushed KDP down 27% since August. Starboard has met with management, but its stake size and demands are undisclosed, and it cannot block the shareholder?vote?free deal.

October 27, 2025: Kirkland & Ellis advised KKR on its strategic investment in Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP), supporting the company’s financing for its pending JDE Peet’s acquisition. Under the deal, KKR and Apollo will invest $3 billion in convertible preferred stock in KDP and its future beverage business, and commit $4 billion to a K-Cup® pod manufacturing joint venture, where KDP will retain control. Proceeds will help fund the JDE Peet’s transaction and future spin-off of KDP’s coffee business.

October 27, 2025: Keurig Dr Pepper unveiled new details regarding its acquisition of JDE Peet’s and the company’s subsequent plan to separate into two independent entities. The announcements were made at KDP’s Investor Day

Financing and Strategic Investments

KDP revised its financing package for the JDE Peet’s acquisition, securing $7 billion in new strategic investments, co-led by Apollo (NYSE: APO) and KKR (NYSE: KKR). The updated structure is expected to reduce net leverage by approximately 1.0x to 4.6x at closing—targeted for the first half of 2026 and deliver ~10% adjusted EPS accretion in the first full year post-acquisition.

Key Financing Components

• $4 Billion Pod Manufacturing Joint Venture:
  KDP announced a binding commitment for a K-Cup® pod and single-serve manufacturing JV co-led by Apollo, KKR, and Goldman Sachs Alternatives. KDP will retain a controlling interest, with an estimated 10-year cost of capital of 7.3–7.4%.

• $3 Billion Convertible Preferred Stock Investment:
  A definitive agreement for a convertible preferred investment co-led by Apollo and KKR values the conversion price at $37.25 per share, reflecting a 41% premium to KDP’s 20-day VWAP. The preferred carries a 4.75% dividend rate with participation in common dividends on an as-converted basis.

The company emphasized that these transactions support its investment-grade credit profile while forming long-term strategic partnerships with institutional investors experienced in complex capital structures.

Capital Structure and Leverage Targets

At separation, KDP plans to maintain investment-grade ratings for both standalone companies:

• Beverage Co.: Targeted net leverage of 3.5–4.0x

• Global Coffee Co.: Targeted net leverage of 3.75–4.25x

To accelerate deleveraging, the company is evaluating non-core asset sales and other capital initiatives.

KDP also plans to nominate Brian Driscoll (Chairman, Acosta Group and The Arnott’s Group) to its Board of Directors.

Leadership and Transformation Updates

KDP expects to be operationally ready for separation by end-2026, contingent on key milestones.

• Tim Cofer will remain CEO until the split and then lead Beverage Co.

• A new CEO search is underway for Global Coffee Co.

• Sudhanshu Priyadarshi continues as CFO and President, International.

JDE Peet’s shareholders will also receive a previously declared €0.36 dividend on January 23, 2026, which will not affect the offer price.

Following the transaction, KDP plans to split into two U.S.-listed public companies: one focused on North America’s refreshment beverages market and the other forming a global coffee pure-play operating in more than 100 countries with a broad, multi-segment brand portfolio.

April 1, 2026: Keurig Dr Pepper completed the acquisition of a 96.22% stake in JDE Peet’s, positioning the combined business for a future separation into two independent, U.S.-listed companies. 

The company plans to split into “Beverage Co.” (North America refreshment beverages) and “Global Coffee Co.” (global coffee platform), creating two focused, category-leading businesses.

Rafael Oliveira has been appointed to lead the coffee unit and will become CEO of Global Coffee Co., while Tim Cofer is expected to serve as CEO of Beverage Co. post-separation. The spinoff is targeted by end-2026.

October 1, 2026: Keurig Dr Pepper appointed Russ Torres as CEO of the future Global Coffee Co. He will join KDP on November 3, 2026, lead the Coffee Operating Unit and integration with JDE Peet’s, and become CEO upon the planned early-2027 separation. Torres currently serves as President and COO of Kimberly-Clark and previously led its North America business, with earlier senior roles at Newell Brands, Bain & Company, and Mondel?z/Kraft. Tim Cofer will become CEO of the remaining Beverage Co.

October 21, 2026: Abbott Plans to Spin Off Nutrition Business

Abbott (ABT) announced plans to separate its Nutrition business into an independent, publicly traded company through a tax-free distribution to Abbott shareholders. The separation is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.

Spinoff Snapshot

Parent: Abbott (ABT)

Abbott is a diversified global healthcare company with businesses in medical devices, diagnostics, established pharmaceuticals and nutrition. After the separation, Abbott will be more focused on its higher-growth healthcare businesses, including cardiovascular and neuromodulation devices, biowearables, diagnostics and established medicines.

SpinCo: Abbott Nutrition

The new Nutrition company will be an independent, publicly traded nutrition business with approximately $8.5 billion in annual sales, around 16,000 employees and 14 manufacturing facilities.

Its portfolio will include major brands such as:

• Similac – infant nutrition
• PediaSure – pediatric nutrition
• Ensure – adult nutrition
• Glucerna – diabetes-focused nutrition
• Pedialyte – hydration products

The business will operate across developed and emerging markets and focus on growth areas including metabolic health, prevention and wellness.

What Abbott Retains

Following the separation, Abbott will retain its:

• Medical Devices business
• Diagnostics business
• Established Pharmaceuticals business

The remaining Abbott is expected to generate approximately $42 billion in annual sales and have a faster-growth and higher-margin profile. 

Reason for the Separation

From an investor perspective, Abbott is separating Nutrition because the business has a different growth profile, capital needs and innovation cycle from the rest of the company.

Nutrition is more tied to consumer health trends, brand building and product innovation, while the remaining Abbott is focused on faster-growing areas like medical devices, biowearables, diagnostics and pharmaceuticals.

By separating them, Nutrition can invest more directly in its own growth opportunities, while Abbott can focus capital on its higher-growth healthcare businesses. Management believes the split should give both companies more flexibility and a clearer investment profile.

Structure

• Abbott will distribute Nutrition shares to its shareholders in a tax-free separation, leaving investors with shares in both companies. 
• Distribution ratio, record date, ticker and exchange have not yet been announced. 
• Abbott expects one-time separation costs, amount not yet disclosed. 
• Goldman Sachs is financial advisor; Wachtell Lipton is legal counsel.

Leadership

Daniel Salvadori will become Chief Executive Officer of the new Nutrition company.

Salvadori currently serves as Abbott’s Executive Vice President and Group President, Established Pharmaceuticals and Nutritional Products. He joined Abbott in 2014 and previously led its Nutrition and international pharmaceutical businesses.

Reason: To separate two businesses with different growth, investment and innovation profiles, allowing Nutrition to pursue its own growth strategy while Abbott focuses on its higher-growth healthcare portfolio.

October 19, 2026: Silgan Sets Up Path to Separate Metal Packaging Business

Silgan Holdings (SLGN) announced a transaction that will combine its Metal Containers segment and Food & Beverage Flat Cap Closures business with Trivium Packaging to create Silgan Metal Containers and Closures (Silgan MCC / MetalCo).

Silgan MCC will initially be structured as a partnership. Silgan will own 60%, while American Industrial Partners (AIP) will own 40% and contribute $1.025 billion in cash. Silgan will receive about $2.263 billion in cash proceeds from MetalCo.

The structure gives Silgan flexibility over the eventual separation. It can choose either to spin off MetalCo itself or instead spin off Silgan’s non-MetalCo businesses, with either route intended to be tax-free.

Spinoff Snapshot

Parent: Silgan Holdings (SLGN)

Silgan is a global packaging company supplying metal containers, dispensing systems, closures and custom containers for food, beverage, beauty, healthcare and other consumer products.

Business being separated: Silgan Metal Containers and Closures (Silgan MCC / MetalCo)

Silgan MCC will combine:

• Silgan’s Metal Containers business
• Silgan’s Food & Beverage Flat Cap Closures business
• Trivium Packaging

The combined business is expected to form a roughly $7.3 billion global metal packaging platform, focused mainly on food and beverage packaging across North America and Europe.

What Silgan retains: Silgan’s Dispensing and Custom Containers businesses will remain outside MetalCo and will be combined into a new segment called Silgan Dispensing Solutions.

Structure: Silgan will contribute its Metal Containers and Closures business to MetalCo and receive 60% of the voting units, while AIP will contribute $1.025 billion for the remaining 40%. Silgan will also receive approximately $2.263 billion in cash from MetalCo.

1. Silgan has the right to pursue either a tax-free spin-off of MetalCo or a tax-free spin-off of Silgan’s non-MetalCo businesses.
2. A spin-off generally cannot occur before the second anniversary of closing unless both Silgan and AIP agree.
3. After 42 months from closing, AIP can formally request that Silgan pursue a spin-off. If Silgan does not proceed, AIP can use liquidity rights that may require Silgan to buy back part of AIP’s MetalCo stake.

The agreement also contemplates a possible IPO of MetalCo, meaning the business could become publicly traded through either an IPO or a spin-off.

Until an IPO or spin-off occurs, Silgan and AIP generally cannot transfer their MetalCo interests except under limited permitted circumstances.

Leadership / Governance: MetalCo’s board will have five directors, with three nominated by Silgan and two by AIP. Anthony J. Allott is expected to serve as non-executive chairman and interim CEO of MetalCo until a permanent CEO is appointed.

Spinoff Snapshot

Parent: Evotec SE is evaluating a separation of Just – Evotec Biologics, its biologics development and manufacturing business.

Hong Kong's Fosun International said it intends to spin off its luxury resort, Atlantis ‌Sanya, and list it on the Shanghai Stock Exchange as a real estate investment trust. Reuters reported in 2024 that the company was looking to sell all or part of its luxury resort in southern China as part of its efforts to reduce debt, citing sources.

As of June 30, 2025, the group’s total debt rose to RMB 222.10 billion, increasing from the level reported at the end of December 2024.

Fosun stated that it plans to use Atlantis as the underlying asset for a Chinese commercial property REIT.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange has granted a waiver allowing the spinoff to proceed without providing existing shareholders with assured entitlement to the new REIT units, which would typically be required.

However, the proposed listing remains subject to regulatory approvals from the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Meanwhile, Fosun’s board is scheduled to meet on March 30 to announce its annual results for the year ended December 31, 2025.

BrazilCo will focus on LNG importation, regasification, and power generation, anchored by key assets including the Barcarena cluster and the TGS terminal. The transaction is expected to close by mid-2026, subject to approvals, with no impact on ongoing operations.

Bloomberg reported that Eaton Corp. is exploring strategic options for its vehicle business, including a potential sale or spinoff as it refocuses on higher-growth areas under its new CEO.  The company is working with an adviser, and the unit could be worth up to $5 billion in a transaction according to people familiar with the matter.

Update(s):

January 26, 2026: Eaton plans to separate its Vehicle and eMobility segments into a standalone, publicly traded company by Q1 2027 (tax-free to shareholders). The move supports CEO Paulo Ruiz’s 2030 strategy to focus Eaton on its higher-growth, higher-margin Electrical and Aerospace businesses. Post-spin, Eaton will prioritize capital toward data centers, utilities, infrastructure, and aerospace/defense, supported by recent acquisitions (Ultra PCS, Boyd Thermal).

The separation is expected to be immediately accretive to Eaton’s organic growth and operating margin at close.

Mobility will operate independently as a global supplier of powertrain, EV protection, and vehicle systems, with leading positions in commercial truck transmissions, clutches, and EV fuses. Management says the split will give both companies sharper strategic focus, tailored capital allocation, and clearer investment profiles. The transaction follows Eaton’s prior divestitures of Lighting (2020) and Hydraulics (2021).

Eaton will discuss the transaction alongside Q4 2025 earnings on Feb 3, 2026. Morgan Stanley is financial advisor; Paul Weiss and Hogan Lovells are legal advisors.

June 11, 2026: Dana Incorporated (DAN) announced it has entered into a definitive agreement with Eaton Corporation plc (ETN) to combine with Eaton's Mobility business in a transaction valued at approximately $5.1 billion.

Eaton shareholders will own at least 50.1% of the combined company, while Dana shareholders will own approximately 49.9%.

• Eaton will first separate its Mobility business through either a spin-off or split-off and then immediately merge it with Dana. The combined company will continue operating as Dana Incorporated and remain listed on the NYSE under the DAN ticker. 

• Eaton will receive approximately $1.1 billion in cash funded by new debt raised by the Mobility business before closing. 

• The combined company is expected to generate approximately $11 billion in 2026 revenue and $1.7 billion in adjusted EBITDA, including expected synergies. 

Leadership:

• Byron Foster will serve as CEO, Timothy Kraus will remain CFO, and Erin Rowse will become Chief Human Resources Officer of the combined company. Dana Chairman R. Bruce McDonald will serve as Executive Chairman. 

• The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2027, subject to Dana shareholder approval, regulatory approvals, and customary closing conditions. The transaction is intended to be tax-free to both Eaton and Dana shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes

Strategic Rationale:

• The deal combines Dana and Eaton Mobility's vehicle parts businesses to create a larger supplier with a broader range of products for truck, commercial vehicle, and automotive customers.

• For Eaton, the transaction allows the company to exit its mobility business and focus on its faster-growing Electrical and Aerospace segments, while still benefiting from the combined company and receiving approximately $1.1 billion in cash.

Barrick Mining (B) said its board has authorized management to explore a partial IPO (carve-out) of a new subsidiary that would hold its premier North American gold assets.

If pursued, NewCo would include Barrick’s interests in Nevada Gold Mines, Pueblo Viejo, and the 100%-owned Fourmile gold discovery in Nevada. The company plans to list a small minority stake via IPO while retaining a controlling majority interest in NewCo.

Barrick said the move is part of a broader portfolio review to unlock shareholder value, particularly in North America, while continuing to invest in its global gold and copper assets.

February 9, 2026: Newmont Corporation is pressing Barrick Mining Corporation to improve performance at their Nevada Gold Mines joint venture before Barrick proceeds with a planned IPO spin-off of the assets, citing production declines, rising costs, and reduced asset value.

April 28, 2026: Barrick Mining Corporation plans to spin off its North American operations through a New York IPO by year-end, with a potential valuation exceeding $60 billion. The new entity will be primarily listed in New York with a secondary listing in Toronto, and Barrick will retain a majority stake.

The spin-off will include key assets such as Nevada Gold Mines, its Dominican Republic joint venture interests, and the Fourmile project.

The move is part of a broader strategy to separate lower-risk North American assets and unlock shareholder value, although ongoing tensions with Newmont Corporation over operations and asset integration remain a key consideration.

August 9, 2026: Barrick Mining is facing growing shareholder opposition to a proposed IPO of a minority stake in its prized North American assets, including its Nevada operations and Fourmile discovery. The company would retain majority ownership, but the deal could dilute existing shareholders’ exposure by as much as 15%. Investors argue the move risks handing future upside to new shareholders, while Barrick says a standalone listing could unlock higher valuations for its best assets.

August 10, 2026: Barrick Mining has settled its long-running dispute with Newmont over their Nevada Gold Mines joint venture, securing a $1.95 billion cash payment. The agreement clears a key governance hurdle and paves the way for Barrick to pursue a public listing of its North American gold assets, including its Nevada operations.

Associated British Foods announced that its Board is reviewing a potential spin-off of its Primark retail division from its food and agriculture businesses, as part of a broader strategic evaluation. The review is being led by Chairman Michael McLintock, with advisory support from Rothschild & Co. The Company is also engaging with its largest shareholder, Wittington Investments, which has indicated its intention to remain a majority owner of both entities in the event of a separation.

Associated British Foods would retain its food, ingredients, and agriculture platform, including:

• Grocery brands: Twinings, Ovaltine
• Sugar operations: Global production and distribution (incl. British Sugar)
• Agriculture division: Animal feed and related businesses
• Ingredients segment: Yeast, enzymes, and specialty food ingredients

Primark would become a standalone listed retail company, including:

• Global retail footprint: Value fashion stores across Europe and the U.S.
• Core operations: Apparel, accessories, and fast-fashion merchandise
• Growth strategy: Store expansion and operational scale (primarily offline model)

Business Mix: Primark generates nearly half of group revenue and the majority of earnings, while the food segment includes global sugar operations and brands such as Twinings and Ovaltine.

Management Commentary: CEO George Weston noted the food business has been underappreciated by markets. A spin-off could create two focused, pure-play companies.

Context: The review follows slowing Primark sales and weaker sugar segment performance, which impacted recent results.

Update(s):

April 17, 2026: Associated British Foods is expected to outline plans to separate Primark from its food businesses as part of its structural review update on April 21, 2026.

April 21, 2026: Associated British Foods plc (ABF) annoiunced the board has decided it will demerge Primark from its food business, creating two separately listed companies with shareholders owning both. The move aims to improve focus and valuation clarity, with FoodCo retaining the ABF name. The dividend demerger is targeted for completion by end-2027, subject to approvals, with both entities expected to list on the London Stock Exchange.

The Board has reviewed the anticipated dis-synergies which in aggregate are currently expected to be below £45 million. One-off separation and transaction costs are expected to be in the region of £75 million. It is intended that both Primark and FoodCo will be listed on the Equity Shares (Commercial Companies) category of the London Stock Exchange and, given their scale, it is anticipated that both entities will be constituents of the FTSE 100.

Following the demerger, FoodCo will retain the Associated British Foods plc name.

Timetable and process: The Board’s intention is for the demerger to become effective before the end of 2027 calendar year and it is subject to the receipt of any necessary approvals and appropriate tax clearances. The separation of Primark from ABF is expected to be effected by way of a dividend demerger.

Management and governance: To ensure a smooth transition through the demerger process, the Board has asked ABF’s current Chair, Michael McLintock, to continue as Chair of ABF until the completion of the demerger.

Michael was appointed to the Board as a Director in November 2017 and as Chair in April 2018. The composition of both future boards will be determined and announced prior to the demerger effective date.

It is intended that George Weston will be Chief Executive of FoodCo and Eoin Tonge will be Chief Executive of Primark.

July 1, 2026: Associated British Foods said it continues to prepare for the planned spin-off of Primark. The company reaffirmed guidance across its businesses except for its Sugar division, where it expects a loss amid deteriorating market conditions after third-quarter sales fell 4% due to lower average selling prices in Europe.

Terex announced plans to exit its Aerials segment, exploring a potential sale or spin-off. The move aligns with its merger with REV Group (REVG) and aims to streamline operations around core specialty and industrial equipment businesses.

Reuters reported that Ananym Capital is urging Baker Hughes (BKR) to spin off its oil field services and equipment unit, arguing the move could lift the stock by at least 60%. Co-founder Charlie Penner said the separation would unlock value, as the company trades at 9x 2026 EBITDA versus a 13x fair multiple.

Baker Hughes, formed from the 2017 merger with GE Oil & Gas, has two main segments: Oilfield Services & Equipment and Industrial & Energy Technology. 

Ananym co-founder Charlie Penner said the technologies segment, which drives most earnings, is undervalued due to a “sum-of-the-parts discount.”

The company said it values shareholder input and is conducting a broad review of its capital allocation and business structure.

Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) said it is leaning toward spinning off its DePuy Synthes orthopaedics business rather than selling it, believing a spin-off could create greater long-term shareholder value. The separation remains on track for mid-2027, although no final transaction structure or distribution terms have been announced. The update comes as J&J's MedTech division reported just 2.5% sales growth in Q3 2026, trailing its pharmaceutical business.

Scroll down for past updates, announcements, and filings.

Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) announced a definitive agreement to acquire JDE Peet’s (EURONEXT: JDEP) in an all-cash transaction valued at €15.7 billion (€31.85 per share, a 33% premium). The deal combines KDP’s Keurig single-serve platform with JDE Peet’s global coffee portfolio, creating a new global coffee leader.
Following the acquisition, KDP plans to separate into two U.S.-listed companies:

Global Coffee Co. – the world’s largest pure-play coffee company with ~$16B in net sales, $400M in expected cost synergies, and leadership across 100+ markets.

Beverage Co. – a North American refreshment beverage challenger with ~$11B in sales, iconic brands like Dr Pepper®, 7UP®, and Canada Dry®, and a robust DSD distribution network.

Both companies are expected to maintain investment-grade credit ratings, with the spin-off designed as a tax-free transaction for shareholders. The JDE Peet’s acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2026, with the coffee spin-off to follow soon after.

Updates(s)

Under the deal, KKR and Apollo will invest $3 billion in convertible preferred stock in KDP and its future beverage business, and commit $4 billion to a K-Cup® pod manufacturing joint venture, where KDP will retain control. Proceeds will help fund the JDE Peet’s transaction and future spin-off of KDP’s coffee business.

October 27, 2025: Keurig Dr Pepper unveiled new details regarding its acquisition of JDE Peet’s and the company’s subsequent plan to separate into two independent entities. The announcements were made at KDP’s Investor Day

Financing and Strategic Investments

KDP revised its financing package for the JDE Peet’s acquisition, securing $7 billion in new strategic investments, co-led by Apollo (NYSE: APO) and KKR (NYSE: KKR). The updated structure is expected to reduce net leverage by approximately 1.0x to 4.6x at closing—targeted for the first half of 2026 and deliver ~10% adjusted EPS accretion in the first full year post-acquisition.

Key Financing Components

• $4 Billion Pod Manufacturing Joint Venture:
  KDP announced a binding commitment for a K-Cup® pod and single-serve manufacturing JV co-led by Apollo, KKR, and Goldman Sachs Alternatives. KDP will retain a controlling interest, with an estimated 10-year cost of capital of 7.3–7.4%.

• $3 Billion Convertible Preferred Stock Investment:
  A definitive agreement for a convertible preferred investment co-led by Apollo and KKR values the conversion price at $37.25 per share, reflecting a 41% premium to KDP’s 20-day VWAP. The preferred carries a 4.75% dividend rate with participation in common dividends on an as-converted basis.

The company emphasized that these transactions support its investment-grade credit profile while forming long-term strategic partnerships with institutional investors experienced in complex capital structures.

Capital Structure and Leverage Targets

At separation, KDP plans to maintain investment-grade ratings for both standalone companies:

• Beverage Co.: Targeted net leverage of 3.5–4.0x

• Global Coffee Co.: Targeted net leverage of 3.75–4.25x

To accelerate deleveraging, the company is evaluating non-core asset sales and other capital initiatives.

KDP also plans to nominate Brian Driscoll (Chairman, Acosta Group and The Arnott’s Group) to its Board of Directors.

Leadership and Transformation Updates

KDP expects to be operationally ready for separation by end-2026, contingent on key milestones.

• Tim Cofer will remain CEO until the split and then lead Beverage Co.

• A new CEO search is underway for Global Coffee Co.

• Sudhanshu Priyadarshi continues as CFO and President, International.

Following the transaction, KDP plans to split into two U.S.-listed public companies: one focused on North America’s refreshment beverages market and the other forming a global coffee pure-play operating in more than 100 countries with a broad, multi-segment brand portfolio.

April 1, 2026: Keurig Dr Pepper completed the acquisition of a 96.22% stake in JDE Peet’s, positioning the combined business for a future separation into two independent, U.S.-listed companies.

October 1, 2026: Keurig Dr Pepper appointed Russ Torres as CEO of the future Global Coffee Co.
