Restructuring World: Major Spin-Offs From Major Companies (AIG, PUK, AMR, BAC, BCS, BP, GE, GENZ, HBC, LMT, MDR, MOT, STR, SUN, VZ, FTR, VSH)

Restructuring never ends in many large corporations. After a week’s worth of reading through dozens of corporate deals in the pipeline and analyzing others which could be close, it seems that many of America’s (and ex-US) largest companies are about to go through major changes because of asset sales, spin-offs, and unit dispositions. These can be major events for the underlying companies and can create huge opportunities for investors to buy units inside the business rather than the whole company . The list of corporations for 2010 is major and includes companies such as American International Group Inc. AIG, Prudential plc PUK, AMR Corp. AMR, Bank of America Corporation BAC, Barclays plc BCS, BP plc BP, General Electric Co. GE, Genzyme Corporation GENZ, HSBC Holdings HBC, Lockheed Martin Corporation LMT, McDermott International Inc. MDR, Motorola Inc. MOT, Questar Corporation STR, Sunoco Inc. SUN, Verizon Communications Inc. VZ VZ, Frontier Communications Corporation FTR, and Vishay Intertechnology Inc. VSH.
