Good question. It's typically when a publicly traded company sheds one or more of its businesses. . .in the form of a new company. . .or it could be an existing, wholly owned subsidiary. . .and shareholders end up with an ownership stake in the new--and remaining--companies.

One of the largest. . .and best known. . .spin offs in US corporate business history. . .is the original AT&T ("Ma Bell"). . .giving birth to her baby bells. . .with one of them (SBC). . .recently re-acquiring the parent and renaming itself. . .AT&T!

You didn't ask but. . .why is this done? Because a public company's stock price trades based on sales and earnings multiples. . .and sometimes. . .or at least this is what bankers are paid to say. . .a company can trade better if it spins off a business unit that may be dragging the stock price multiple below a peer group range.

Hope this helps!

Spin-off is a situation when a company separates one of its divisions into a separate company and distributes stock of the new company to its shareholders.
