March 3rd, 2010 by john | Filed under Spin-0ff News, Spin-off Investing.
McDermott International announced in December 2009 that intended to do a stock spin-off of its Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation unit. Yesterday they said that the spin-off is on track .
Their financials also showed that the offshore oil & gas services did very well while power generation lagged, so it would appear that casting off the power generation unit promises to a positive for the parent as well as the spin-off stock.
The pacing of this process illustrates what is a real positive in spin-offs for me in that it doesn’t happen fast. There is time to read the filings and figure out what you want to do. Being front run by a computer that has made its decision before you can read the title of the press release seems unlikely and with any luck the guys with those fancy computers will go somewhere else.
As for Babcock & Wilcox, this looks like a classic case where they are being given a chance to show what they can do on their own. Let’s just hope the structure of the stock spinoff gives them a fighting chance to succeed and prosper. You may want to look at the B & W website to make up your own mind, but these people look to be in the right place at the right time on several fronts to me.

Remember that The Babcock & Wilcox Company has been in business for over 140 years and has only been a part of McDermott International since 1978. Prior to that time, the stock was traded on the NYSE. I believe they will do fine as they have demonstrated for many, independent years without the interference of McDermott International.
I do too. In fact, I think they have the right technology and expertise at the right time to do very very well.
I just wonder how long it will take people for whom 1978 seems like the dark ages to get up to speed on what Babcock & Wilcox does and how good they are at it.
This post appears to recieve a great deal of visitors. How do you advertise it? It offers a nice unique spin on things. I guess having something authentic or substantial to post about is the most important thing.
