The market often undervalues complex companies. Spin-offs - the separation of a division, technology, or subsidiary from an existing company - are a proven way to make hidden value visible. Investors can benefit from this, often with clear advance notice. One of the most well-known spin-offs is PayPal. In 2015, eBay shareholders received 0.22 PayPal shares for each eBay share held.
