Good examples of a Conglomerate delisting and then IPOing its various subdiaries for "shareholder value"?

Anyone have any good examples? I'm looking for an example of a conglomerate with Infra assets specifically in Asia, but any assets/examples globally will do.

Want to show the client that it makes sense to delist in a tepid environment and that investors prefer investing in clear structures where assets are not comingled. 

thanks guys!

 

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems like your question is a bit specific and might not be fully covered in the information I have. However, I can tell you that it's not uncommon to see a conglomerate selling off a non-core business to PE buyers in Asia, especially in Japan. This is often the case when the founder retires or the next generation doesn't want to take over.

As for the strategy of delisting in a tepid environment and then IPOing various subsidiaries for "shareholder value", it's a complex process that can potentially unlock value if done correctly. However, it's also important to note that the success of such a strategy can depend on a variety of factors, including the specific industries of the subsidiaries, market conditions, and the execution of the strategy.

I would recommend further research on this topic, perhaps looking into specific case studies of conglomerates that have successfully implemented this strategy. You might also want to consult with a financial advisor or someone with expertise in this area.

GE was what I was going to say - Siemens is a bit less recent but some idea of an industrial conglomerate spinning off their healthcare and energy subsidiaries. ik u said infra but hope that was helpful?
