effort by its latest CEO Larry Culp, General Electric (GE) fina","content":"<p>After years of turmoil and a valiant effort by its latest CEO Larry Culp, General Electric (GE) finally gave up in its efforts to salvage its broad-reaching business as a singular unit.</p><p><blockquote>经过多年的动荡和新任首席执行官拉里·卡尔普的勇敢努力，通用电气(GE)最终放弃了将其广泛业务作为一个单一部门挽救的努力。</blockquote></p><p> The company has consistently spun off numerous assets across the sprawling conglomerate in recent years to lessen its debt load. Perhaps most important was a $20 billion deal to ship its biopharmaceutical business to Danaher (DHR) in 2020. Yet, it appears the moves were not enough to satisfy Culp's ambitious recovery goals for the once-great industrial giant.</p><p><blockquote>近年来，该公司不断剥离整个庞大企业集团的大量资产，以减轻债务负担。也许最重要的是2020年将其生物制药业务转移给丹纳赫(DHR)的200亿美元交易。然而，这些举措似乎不足以满足卡尔普对这家曾经伟大的工业巨头雄心勃勃的复苏目标。</blockquote></p><p> \"The world demands-and deserves-we bring our best to solve the biggest challenges in flight, healthcare, and energy,\" Culp said in a statement on Tuesday. \"By creating three industry-leading, global public companies, each can benefit from greater focus, tailored capital allocation, and strategic flexibility to drive long-term growth and value for customers, investors, and employees. We are putting our technology expertise, leadership, and global reach to work to better serve our customers.\"</p><p><blockquote>卡尔普在周二的一份声明中表示：“世界要求——也应该——我们尽最大努力解决飞行、医疗保健和能源领域的最大挑战。”“通过创建三家行业领先的全球上市公司，每家公司都可以从更大的关注、量身定制的资本配置和战略灵活性中受益，以推动客户、投资者和员工的长期增长和价值。我们正在利用我们的技术专业知识、领导力和全球影响力来更好地为我们的客户服务。”</blockquote></p><p> Similarly, the lawsuit-besieged Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)announced it would spin off its consumer health division&nbsp;from its higher growth pharmaceutical and medical devices divisions in the coming two years.</p><p><blockquote>同样，饱受诉讼困扰的强生公司（JNJ）宣布将在未来两年内将其消费者健康部门从增长较快的制药和医疗器械部门中剥离出来。</blockquote></p><p> Judging by the&nbsp;jump in GE stock after the announcement&nbsp;and the early jolt to Johnson &amp; Johnson stock after its announcement Friday<u>,</u>the market certainly looks as though it was offering its initial approval for the streamlining of separate companies. Still, a few questions quickly come to mind.</p><p><blockquote>从通用电气股票在公告后的上涨以及强生公司股票在周五公告后的早期震荡来看<u>,</u>市场看起来确实对精简独立公司提供了初步批准。尽管如此，几个问题很快浮现在脑海中。</blockquote></p><p> First, is this indeed a deft move by management in both cases and therefore deserving of the share-price reaction? And if so, are there more companies that could benefit from following the example set by both of these storied companies?</p><p><blockquote>首先，在这两种情况下，这确实是管理层的灵巧举措，因此值得股价反应吗？如果是这样，是否有更多的公司可以从这两家传奇公司树立的榜样中受益？</blockquote></p><p> <b>Better After a Breakup?</b></p><p><blockquote><b>分手后更好？</b></blockquote></p><p> The first line of questioning is one of whether or not two or three firms are truly better than one.</p><p><blockquote>第一个问题是两三家公司是否真的比一家好。</blockquote></p><p> On paper, it would certainly appear to be so. As of Thursday's market open, GE touted a valuation of about $119 billion as a total entity. However, when broken into constituent parts, RBC Capital Markets analyst Deane Dray suggested up to a 20% upside for investors. Judging by company metrics and projections, it could well be even higher.</p><p><blockquote>理论上，情况确实如此。截至周四开盘，通用电气的整体估值约为1190亿美元。然而，当细分为各个组成部分时，加拿大皇家银行资本市场分析师迪恩·德雷(Deane Dray)建议投资者最多有20%的上涨空间。从公司指标和预测来看，这个数字很可能会更高。</blockquote></p><p> Also, each of the spun-off GE units will be less encumbered by the debt of their former counterparts within the broader company, especially as asset sales in recent years alleviate debt and pension issues. Further, future deals are more likely to reach approval based upon diminished antitrust risk, opening a much wider world of opportunity for investors in the streamlined companies.</p><p><blockquote>此外，每个分拆后的通用电气部门都将减少公司内前同行的债务负担，特别是近年来的资产出售缓解了债务和养老金问题。此外，基于反垄断风险的降低，未来的交易更有可能获得批准，为精简后公司的投资者打开了更广阔的机会世界。</blockquote></p><p> The logic is very much the same for Johnson &amp; Johnson as its pharmaceutical business breaks free from the burdensome troubles of&nbsp;lawsuits over talcum-powder&nbsp;products as well as low-margin medicines like Tylenol. Separation is seen as a key step toward unlocking innovation.</p><p><blockquote>强生公司的逻辑非常相似，因为其制药业务摆脱了滑石粉产品以及泰诺等低利润药物的诉讼麻烦。分离被视为开启创新的关键一步。</blockquote></p><p> \"For the new Johnson &amp; Johnson, this planned separation underscores our focus on delivering industry-leading biopharmaceutical and medical device innovation and technology with the goal of bringing new solutions to market for patients and healthcare systems, while creating sustainable value for shareholders,\" CEO Alex Gorsky explained in a statement. \"We believe that the New Consumer Health Company would be a global leader across attractive and growing consumer health categories, and a streamlined and targeted corporate structure would provide it with the agility and flexibility to grow its iconic portfolio of brands and innovate new products.\"</p><p><blockquote>“对于新的强生公司来说，这一计划中的分离强调了我们对提供行业领先的生物制药和医疗器械创新和技术的关注，目标是为患者和医疗保健系统将新的解决方案推向市场，同时为股东创造可持续的价值，”首席执行官亚历克斯·戈尔斯基在一份声明中解释道。“我们相信，新的消费者健康公司将成为有吸引力且不断增长的消费者健康类别的全球领导者，精简且有针对性的公司结构将为其提供敏捷性和灵活性，以发展其标志性品牌组合和创新新产品。”</blockquote></p><p> To be sure, these targets and optimistic angles assume a rosy trajectory for each of the newly formed firms. As the example of DowDupont (now Dupont (DD) , Dow Inc. (DOW) , and Corteva (CTVA) ) shows, splitting up historic firms with sprawling business is not always a process that progresses precisely to plan.</p><p><blockquote>可以肯定的是，这些目标和乐观的角度为每个新成立的公司假设了一个乐观的轨迹。正如陶氏杜邦公司（现为杜邦公司(DD)、陶氏公司(DOW)和Corteva(CTVA)）的例子所示，拆分业务庞大的历史悠久的公司并不总是一个完全按照计划进行的过程。</blockquote></p><p> Since splitting, the two storied industrial companies, once combined into one mega-conglomerate, have not had much success.</p><p><blockquote>自拆分以来，这两家曾经合并为一家大型企业集团的传奇工业公司并没有取得多大成功。</blockquote></p><p> \"New Dow will be well positioned to drive best-in-class financial performance and shareholder returns,\" Dow CEO Jim Fitterling said ahead of the firm's 2019 spinoff to a standalone firm. \"We have a focused playbook of cost and growth drivers, clear and disciplined capital allocation priorities and a strong balance sheet. Our path to shareholder value creation is straightforward and in our control.\"</p><p><blockquote>陶氏化学首席执行官吉姆·菲特林(Jim Fitterling)在该公司2019年分拆为独立公司之前表示：“新陶氏化学将处于有利地位，能够推动一流的财务业绩和股东回报。”“我们有一个关于成本和增长驱动因素的集中剧本、明确且严格的资本配置优先事项以及强大的资产负债表。我们创造股东价值的道路很简单，并且在我们的控制之下。”</blockquote></p><p> These pronouncements are very much in line with what GE has said of each of its planned new standalone entities. Also, in a move very much reminiscent of GE's quarterly results in recent years, the pronouncement promised much more than what has actually been delivered.</p><p><blockquote>这些声明与通用电气对其计划中的每个新独立实体的说法非常一致。此外，这一举动很容易让人想起通用电气近年来的季度业绩，该声明承诺的内容远远超过实际兑现的内容。</blockquote></p><p> Since it's spinoff was official in April 2019, DOW stock has marked a less than 10% gain. Meanwhile, the S&amp;P has risen over 60% over the same period.</p><p><blockquote>自2019年4月正式分拆以来，道指股价涨幅不到10%。与此同时，标准普尔指数同期上涨了60%以上。</blockquote></p><p> <b>An Example to Follow?</b></p><p><blockquote><b>值得效仿的榜样？</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> Still, assuming things do go well post-breakup, these moves could serve as a benchmark for other bigger, older, and perhaps bloated companies. At the very least, this is the logic adopted not only by aging and perhaps overcomplicated American conglomerates like GE and Johnson &amp; Johnson, but also the nearly 150-year-old Japanese giant Toshiba (TOSBF) . In short, it looks as though a trend is taking hold.</p><p><blockquote>尽管如此，假设分手后事情确实进展顺利，这些举措可以作为其他更大、更老、或许臃肿的公司的基准。至少，这不仅是通用电气和强生等老化、或许过于复杂的美国企业集团采用的逻辑，也是拥有近150年历史的日本巨头东芝（TOSBF）采用的逻辑。简而言之，看起来一种趋势正在形成。</blockquote></p><p> \"Companies that have very diversified portfolios continue to dilute the value to the shareholders,\" David Braun, CEO of M&amp;A advisory firm Capstone Strategic, told Real Money. \"We are in an era where technology and access to capital are different things. A conglomerate is going to have trouble competing.\"</p><p><blockquote>并购咨询公司Capstone Strategic首席执行官David Braun告诉Real Money：“投资组合非常多元化的公司继续稀释股东的价值。”“我们生活在一个技术和获得资本是不同的时代。企业集团将难以竞争。”</blockquote></p><p> He suggested that Emerson Electric (EMR) and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) &nbsp; (BRK.B) are two companies that could likely benefit from a similar breakup.</p><p><blockquote>他表示，艾默生电气（EMR）和伯克希尔哈撒韦公司（BRK.A）（BRK.B）是两家可能从类似分拆中受益的公司。</blockquote></p><p> \"They continue to stockpile excess cash they cannot deploy,\" Braun added, voicing the drawbacks of the behemoth business. \"I'm not sure they benefit from that model any longer.\"</p><p><blockquote>“他们继续储存无法部署的多余现金，”布劳恩补充道，并表达了这项庞大业务的缺点。“我不确定他们是否不再从这种模式中受益。”</blockquote></p><p> On the former, he is far from the first to suggest such a move. RBC's Deane Dray has actually been calling for such a breakup for a few years, alongside 3M (MMM) and Roper Technologies (ROP) , firms he also believes could benefit from being a bit less bulky.</p><p><blockquote>就前者而言，他远不是第一个建议采取这一举措的人。加拿大皇家银行(RBC)的迪恩·德雷(Deane Dray)实际上几年来一直呼吁与3M（3M）和Roper Technologies(ROP)进行这样的分拆，他还认为这些公司可以从规模缩小中受益。</blockquote></p><p> \"We believe the pendulum is still swinging towards the 'urge to demerge' trend,\" he wrote in a note on Tuesday. \"GE's announcement today could embolden the boards of several other multi-industry companies to move ahead on more aggressive portfolio simplification moves, including Emerson, Roper Technologies and 3M.\"</p><p><blockquote>他在周二的一份报告中写道：“我们认为钟摆仍在朝着‘分裂的冲动’趋势摆动。”“通用电气今天的声明可能会鼓励其他几家多行业公司的董事会采取更积极的投资组合简化举措，包括艾默生、罗珀科技和3M。”</blockquote></p><p> As far back as 2019, Dray suggested a breakup of Emerson's automation and commercial divisions could be a boon for shareholders. While the stock has been on a roll since the pandemic began, such a breakup has already been intensely considered by management. In early February, Emerson announced it would not pursue a split \"unless a major strategic acquisition catalyst is actioned.\"</p><p><blockquote>早在2019年，德雷就表示，艾默生自动化和商业部门的分拆可能会给股东带来福音。尽管自疫情爆发以来该股一直在上涨，但管理层已经认真考虑过这种分拆。二月初，艾默生宣布“除非采取重大战略收购催化剂”，否则不会寻求分拆。</blockquote></p><p> At the least, if such a catalyst is to appear the company is clearly willing to consider such an option.</p><p><blockquote>至少，如果出现这样的催化剂，该公司显然愿意考虑这样的选择。</blockquote></p><p> For Berkshire, it is eminently unlikely that any moves come while both Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger helm the conglomerate.&nbsp;But prospects for such a breakup could take many forms considering the business spans industries from insurance to construction to railroads. As such, attempting to size up a form that such a move might take is nearly impossible to forecast.</p><p><blockquote>对于伯克希尔来说，在沃伦·巴菲特和查理·芒格同时执掌该集团的情况下，极不可能有任何举措。但考虑到该业务横跨从保险到建筑再到铁路等多个行业，这种拆分的前景可能有多种形式。因此，试图估计这种举动可能采取的形式几乎是不可能预测的。</blockquote></p><p> Finally, the prospects of a 3M breakup are certainly not out of the question.</p><p><blockquote>最后，3M分拆的前景当然不是不可能的。</blockquote></p><p> Investors in the storied firm are understandably frustrated. Long-term shareholders have seen the stock stagnate over the past five years, marking a basically flat return even after shares were buoyed by demand for PPE and healthcare equipment that the firm manufactured during the pandemic. Looking back on the boost to the shares, many might have been happier with a pure-play option for healthcare and protective equipment rather than a company also weighed down by industrial, transportation, and consumer segments.</p><p><blockquote>这家传奇公司的投资者感到沮丧是可以理解的。长期股东发现该股在过去五年中停滞不前，即使该公司在大流行期间生产的个人防护设备和医疗保健设备的需求提振了该股，回报率也基本持平。回顾股价的上涨，许多人可能更愿意选择纯粹的医疗保健和防护设备，而不是一家同样受到工业、运输和消费领域拖累的公司。</blockquote></p><p> Toward this end, the company may have already telegraphed its intention to move toward breaking up. In March 2019, the company divided its business into four units. The units, entitled safety &amp; industrial, transportation &amp; electronics, healthcare, and consumer respectively, were created in order to focus the business.</p><p><blockquote>为此，该公司可能已经传达了走向分拆的意图。2019年3月，公司将业务拆分为四个部门。这些部门分别名为安全与工业、运输与电子、医疗保健和消费者，是为了集中业务而创建的。</blockquote></p><p> \"We are continuing to advance 3M into the future, and today's actions will strengthen our ability to meet the fast-moving needs of our customers,\" 3M CEO Mike Roman said at the time. \"Our new alignment will leverage our business transformation progress, accelerate growth and deliver greater operational efficiencies.\"</p><p><blockquote>3M首席执行官Mike Roman当时表示：“我们正在继续推动3M走向未来，今天的行动将增强我们满足客户快速变化需求的能力。”“我们的新调整将利用我们的业务转型进展，加速增长并提高运营效率。”</blockquote></p><p> As operational efficiencies have not materialized to the point of elevating the share price, it is not unreasonable to ask questions as to why separate businesses might further tap into the desired efficiency. In short, the healthcare business might be stronger if it was no longer adhered to a scotch tape and post-it manufacturer and vice versa.</p><p><blockquote>由于运营效率尚未达到提高股价的程度，因此提出为什么独立业务可能会进一步利用所需效率的问题并非没有道理。简而言之，如果医疗保健业务不再依赖透明胶带和便利贴制造商，它可能会更强大，反之亦然。</blockquote></p><p> In the end, if the pursuit of separate businesses proves successful in each of the current experiments under way, the lesson may be that bigger is not always better.

As of Thursday's market open, GE touted a valuation of about $119 billion as a total entity. However, when broken into constituent parts, RBC Capital Markets analyst Deane Dray suggested up to a 20% upside for investors. Judging by company metrics and projections, it could well be even higher.</p><p><blockquote>理论上，情况确实如此。截至周四开盘，通用电气的整体估值约为1190亿美元。然而，当细分为各个组成部分时，加拿大皇家银行资本市场分析师迪恩·德雷(Deane Dray)建议投资者最多有20%的上涨空间。从公司指标和预测来看，这个数字很可能会更高。</blockquote></p><p> Also, each of the spun-off GE units will be less encumbered by the debt of their former counterparts within the broader company, especially as asset sales in recent years alleviate debt and pension issues. Further, future deals are more likely to reach approval based upon diminished antitrust risk, opening a much wider world of opportunity for investors in the streamlined companies.</p><p><blockquote>此外，每个分拆后的通用电气部门都将减少公司内前同行的债务负担，特别是近年来的资产出售缓解了债务和养老金问题。此外，基于反垄断风险的降低，未来的交易更有可能获得批准，为精简后公司的投资者打开了更广阔的机会世界。</blockquote></p><p> The logic is very much the same for Johnson &amp; Johnson as its pharmaceutical business breaks free from the burdensome troubles of&nbsp;lawsuits over talcum-powder&nbsp;products as well as low-margin medicines like Tylenol. Separation is seen as a key step toward unlocking innovation.</p><p><blockquote>强生公司的逻辑非常相似，因为其制药业务摆脱了滑石粉产品以及泰诺等低利润药物的诉讼麻烦。分离被视为开启创新的关键一步。</blockquote></p><p> \"For the new Johnson &amp; Johnson, this planned separation underscores our focus on delivering industry-leading biopharmaceutical and medical device innovation and technology with the goal of bringing new solutions to market for patients and healthcare systems, while creating sustainable value for shareholders,\" CEO Alex Gorsky explained in a statement. \"We believe that the New Consumer Health Company would be a global leader across attractive and growing consumer health categories, and a streamlined and targeted corporate structure would provide it with the agility and flexibility to grow its iconic portfolio of brands and innovate new products.\"</p><p><blockquote>“对于新的强生公司来说，这一计划中的分离强调了我们对提供行业领先的生物制药和医疗器械创新和技术的关注，目标是为患者和医疗保健系统将新的解决方案推向市场，同时为股东创造可持续的价值，”首席执行官亚历克斯·戈尔斯基在一份声明中解释道。“我们相信，新的消费者健康公司将成为有吸引力且不断增长的消费者健康类别的全球领导者，精简且有针对性的公司结构将为其提供敏捷性和灵活性，以发展其标志性品牌组合和创新新产品。”</blockquote></p><p> To be sure, these targets and optimistic angles assume a rosy trajectory for each of the newly formed firms. As the example of DowDupont (now Dupont (DD) , Dow Inc. (DOW) , and Corteva (CTVA) ) shows, splitting up historic firms with sprawling business is not always a process that progresses precisely to plan.</p><p><blockquote>可以肯定的是，这些目标和乐观的角度为每个新成立的公司假设了一个乐观的轨迹。正如陶氏杜邦公司（现为杜邦公司(DD)、陶氏公司(DOW)和Corteva(CTVA)）的例子所示，拆分业务庞大的历史悠久的公司并不总是一个完全按照计划进行的过程。</blockquote></p><p> Since splitting, the two storied industrial companies, once combined into one mega-conglomerate, have not had much success.</p><p><blockquote>自拆分以来，这两家曾经合并为一家大型企业集团的传奇工业公司并没有取得多大成功。</blockquote></p><p> \"New Dow will be well positioned to drive best-in-class financial performance and shareholder returns,\" Dow CEO Jim Fitterling said ahead of the firm's 2019 spinoff to a standalone firm. \"We have a focused playbook of cost and growth drivers, clear and disciplined capital allocation priorities and a strong balance sheet. Our path to shareholder value creation is straightforward and in our control.\"</p><p><blockquote>陶氏化学首席执行官吉姆·菲特林(Jim Fitterling)在该公司2019年分拆为独立公司之前表示：“新陶氏化学将处于有利地位，能够推动一流的财务业绩和股东回报。”“我们有一个关于成本和增长驱动因素的集中剧本、明确且严格的资本配置优先事项以及强大的资产负债表。我们创造股东价值的道路很简单，并且在我们的控制之下。”</blockquote></p><p> These pronouncements are very much in line with what GE has said of each of its planned new standalone entities. Also, in a move very much reminiscent of GE's quarterly results in recent years, the pronouncement promised much more than what has actually been delivered.</p><p><blockquote>这些声明与通用电气对其计划中的每个新独立实体的说法非常一致。此外，这一举动很容易让人想起通用电气近年来的季度业绩，该声明承诺的内容远远超过实际兑现的内容。</blockquote></p><p> Since it's spinoff was official in April 2019, DOW stock has marked a less than 10% gain. Meanwhile, the S&amp;P has risen over 60% over the same period.</p><p><blockquote>自2019年4月正式分拆以来，道指股价涨幅不到10%。与此同时，标准普尔指数同期上涨了60%以上。</blockquote></p><p> <b>An Example to Follow?</b></p><p><blockquote><b>值得效仿的榜样？</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> Still, assuming things do go well post-breakup, these moves could serve as a benchmark for other bigger, older, and perhaps bloated companies. At the very least, this is the logic adopted not only by aging and perhaps overcomplicated American conglomerates like GE and Johnson &amp; Johnson, but also the nearly 150-year-old Japanese giant Toshiba (TOSBF) . In short, it looks as though a trend is taking hold.</p><p><blockquote>尽管如此，假设分手后事情确实进展顺利，这些举措可以作为其他更大、更老、或许臃肿的公司的基准。至少，这不仅是通用电气和强生等老化、或许过于复杂的美国企业集团采用的逻辑，也是拥有近150年历史的日本巨头东芝（TOSBF）采用的逻辑。简而言之，看起来一种趋势正在形成。</blockquote></p><p> \"Companies that have very diversified portfolios continue to dilute the value to the shareholders,\" David Braun, CEO of M&amp;A advisory firm Capstone Strategic, told Real Money. \"We are in an era where technology and access to capital are different things. A conglomerate is going to have trouble competing.\"</p><p><blockquote>并购咨询公司Capstone Strategic首席执行官David Braun告诉Real Money：“投资组合非常多元化的公司继续稀释股东的价值。”“我们生活在一个技术和获得资本是不同的时代。企业集团将难以竞争。”</blockquote></p><p> He suggested that Emerson Electric (EMR) and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) &nbsp; (BRK.B) are two companies that could likely benefit from a similar breakup.</p><p><blockquote>他表示，艾默生电气（EMR）和伯克希尔哈撒韦公司（BRK.A）（BRK.B）是两家可能从类似分拆中受益的公司。</blockquote></p><p> \"They continue to stockpile excess cash they cannot deploy,\" Braun added, voicing the drawbacks of the behemoth business. \"I'm not sure they benefit from that model any longer.\"</p><p><blockquote>“他们继续储存无法部署的多余现金，”布劳恩补充道，并表达了这项庞大业务的缺点。“我不确定他们是否不再从这种模式中受益。”</blockquote></p><p> On the former, he is far from the first to suggest such a move. RBC's Deane Dray has actually been calling for such a breakup for a few years, alongside 3M (MMM) and Roper Technologies (ROP) , firms he also believes could benefit from being a bit less bulky.</p><p><blockquote>就前者而言，他远不是第一个建议采取这一举措的人。加拿大皇家银行(RBC)的迪恩·德雷(Deane Dray)实际上几年来一直呼吁与3M（3M）和Roper Technologies(ROP)进行这样的分拆，他还认为这些公司可以从规模缩小中受益。</blockquote></p><p> \"We believe the pendulum is still swinging towards the 'urge to demerge' trend,\" he wrote in a note on Tuesday. \"GE's announcement today could embolden the boards of several other multi-industry companies to move ahead on more aggressive portfolio simplification moves, including Emerson, Roper Technologies and 3M.\"</p><p><blockquote>他在周二的一份报告中写道：“我们认为钟摆仍在朝着‘分裂的冲动’趋势摆动。”“通用电气今天的声明可能会鼓励其他几家多行业公司的董事会采取更积极的投资组合简化举措，包括艾默生、罗珀科技和3M。”</blockquote></p><p> As far back as 2019, Dray suggested a breakup of Emerson's automation and commercial divisions could be a boon for shareholders. While the stock has been on a roll since the pandemic began, such a breakup has already been intensely considered by management. In early February, Emerson announced it would not pursue a split \"unless a major strategic acquisition catalyst is actioned.\"</p><p><blockquote>早在2019年，德雷就表示，艾默生自动化和商业部门的分拆可能会给股东带来福音。尽管自疫情爆发以来该股一直在上涨，但管理层已经认真考虑过这种分拆。二月初，艾默生宣布“除非采取重大战略收购催化剂”，否则不会寻求分拆。</blockquote></p><p> At the least, if such a catalyst is to appear the company is clearly willing to consider such an option.</p><p><blockquote>至少，如果出现这样的催化剂，该公司显然愿意考虑这样的选择。</blockquote></p><p> For Berkshire, it is eminently unlikely that any moves come while both Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger helm the conglomerate.&nbsp;But prospects for such a breakup could take many forms considering the business spans industries from insurance to construction to railroads. As such, attempting to size up a form that such a move might take is nearly impossible to forecast.</p><p><blockquote>对于伯克希尔来说，在沃伦·巴菲特和查理·芒格同时执掌该集团的情况下，极不可能有任何举措。但考虑到该业务横跨从保险到建筑再到铁路等多个行业，这种拆分的前景可能有多种形式。因此，试图估计这种举动可能采取的形式几乎是不可能预测的。</blockquote></p><p> Finally, the prospects of a 3M breakup are certainly not out of the question.</p><p><blockquote>最后，3M分拆的前景当然不是不可能的。</blockquote></p><p> Investors in the storied firm are understandably frustrated. Long-term shareholders have seen the stock stagnate over the past five years, marking a basically flat return even after shares were buoyed by demand for PPE and healthcare equipment that the firm manufactured during the pandemic. Looking back on the boost to the shares, many might have been happier with a pure-play option for healthcare and protective equipment rather than a company also weighed down by industrial, transportation, and consumer segments.</p><p><blockquote>这家传奇公司的投资者感到沮丧是可以理解的。长期股东发现该股在过去五年中停滞不前，即使该公司在大流行期间生产的个人防护设备和医疗保健设备的需求提振了该股，回报率也基本持平。回顾股价的上涨，许多人可能更愿意选择纯粹的医疗保健和防护设备，而不是一家同样受到工业、运输和消费领域拖累的公司。</blockquote></p><p> Toward this end, the company may have already telegraphed its intention to move toward breaking up. In March 2019, the company divided its business into four units. The units, entitled safety &amp; industrial, transportation &amp; electronics, healthcare, and consumer respectively, were created in order to focus the business.</p><p><blockquote>为此，该公司可能已经传达了走向分拆的意图。2019年3月，公司将业务拆分为四个部门。这些部门分别名为安全与工业、运输与电子、医疗保健和消费者，是为了集中业务而创建的。</blockquote></p><p> \"We are continuing to advance 3M into the future, and today's actions will strengthen our ability to meet the fast-moving needs of our customers,\" 3M CEO Mike Roman said at the time. \"Our new alignment will leverage our business transformation progress, accelerate growth and deliver greater operational efficiencies.\"</p><p><blockquote>3M首席执行官Mike Roman当时表示：“我们正在继续推动3M走向未来，今天的行动将增强我们满足客户快速变化需求的能力。”“我们的新调整将利用我们的业务转型进展，加速增长并提高运营效率。”</blockquote></p><p> As operational efficiencies have not materialized to the point of elevating the share price, it is not unreasonable to ask questions as to why separate businesses might further tap into the desired efficiency. In short, the healthcare business might be stronger if it was no longer adhered to a scotch tape and post-it manufacturer and vice versa.</p><p><blockquote>由于运营效率尚未达到提高股价的程度，因此提出为什么独立业务可能会进一步利用所需效率的问题并非没有道理。简而言之，如果医疗保健业务不再依赖透明胶带和便利贴制造商，它可能会更强大，反之亦然。</blockquote></p><p> In the end, if the pursuit of separate businesses proves successful in each of the current experiments under way, the lesson may be that bigger is not always better. For investors, it might also open a number of pure-play options that provide a better investment than their parent companies do at present.</p><p><blockquote>最终，如果对独立业务的追求在当前正在进行的每一项实验中都被证明是成功的，那么教训可能是越大并不总是越好。对于投资者来说，它还可能提供许多纯粹的选择，提供比母公司目前更好的投资。</blockquote></p><p></p>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n<p> 来源：<a href=\"https://realmoney.thestreet.com/investing/stocks/ge-isn-t-the-only-aging-company-that-could-benefit-from-a-breakup-15830176?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO\">Thestreet</a></p>\n<p>为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化</p>\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"JNJ":"强生","GE":"GE航空航天"},"source_url":"https://realmoney.thestreet.com/investing/stocks/ge-isn-t-the-only-aging-company-that-could-benefit-from-a-breakup-15830176?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1178164317","content_text":"After years of turmoil and a valiant effort by its latest CEO Larry Culp, General Electric (GE) finally gave up in its efforts to salvage its broad-reaching business as a singular unit.\nThe company has consistently spun off numerous assets across the sprawling conglomerate in recent years to lessen its debt load.

effort by its latest CEO Larry Culp, General Electric (GE) fina","content":"<p>After years of turmoil and a valiant effort by its latest CEO Larry Culp, General Electric (GE) finally gave up in its efforts to salvage its broad-reaching business as a singular unit.</p><p><blockquote>经过多年的动荡和新任首席执行官拉里·卡尔普的勇敢努力，通用电气(GE)最终放弃了将其广泛业务作为一个单一部门挽救的努力。</blockquote></p><p> The company has consistently spun off numerous assets across the sprawling conglomerate in recent years to lessen its debt load. Perhaps most important was a $20 billion deal to ship its biopharmaceutical business to Danaher (DHR) in 2020. Yet, it appears the moves were not enough to satisfy Culp's ambitious recovery goals for the once-great industrial giant.</p><p><blockquote>近年来，该公司不断剥离整个庞大企业集团的大量资产，以减轻债务负担。也许最重要的是2020年将其生物制药业务转移给丹纳赫(DHR)的200亿美元交易。然而，这些举措似乎不足以满足卡尔普对这家曾经伟大的工业巨头雄心勃勃的复苏目标。</blockquote></p><p> \"The world demands-and deserves-we bring our best to solve the biggest challenges in flight, healthcare, and energy,\" Culp said in a statement on Tuesday. \"By creating three industry-leading, global public companies, each can benefit from greater focus, tailored capital allocation, and strategic flexibility to drive long-term growth and value for customers, investors, and employees. We are putting our technology expertise, leadership, and global reach to work to better serve our customers.\"</p><p><blockquote>卡尔普在周二的一份声明中表示：“世界要求——也应该——我们尽最大努力解决飞行、医疗保健和能源领域的最大挑战。”“通过创建三家行业领先的全球上市公司，每家公司都可以从更大的关注、量身定制的资本配置和战略灵活性中受益，以推动客户、投资者和员工的长期增长和价值。我们正在利用我们的技术专业知识、领导力和全球影响力来更好地为我们的客户服务。”</blockquote></p><p> Similarly, the lawsuit-besieged Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ)announced it would spin off its consumer health division&nbsp;from its higher growth pharmaceutical and medical devices divisions in the coming two years.</p><p><blockquote>同样，饱受诉讼困扰的强生公司（JNJ）宣布将在未来两年内将其消费者健康部门从增长较快的制药和医疗器械部门中剥离出来。</blockquote></p><p> Judging by the&nbsp;jump in GE stock after the announcement&nbsp;and the early jolt to Johnson &amp; Johnson stock after its announcement Friday<u>,</u>the market certainly looks as though it was offering its initial approval for the streamlining of separate companies. Still, a few questions quickly come to mind.</p><p><blockquote>从通用电气股票在公告后的上涨以及强生公司股票在周五公告后的早期震荡来看<u>,</u>市场看起来确实对精简独立公司提供了初步批准。尽管如此，几个问题很快浮现在脑海中。</blockquote></p><p> First, is this indeed a deft move by management in both cases and therefore deserving of the share-price reaction? And if so, are there more companies that could benefit from following the example set by both of these storied companies?</p><p><blockquote>首先，在这两种情况下，这确实是管理层的灵巧举措，因此值得股价反应吗？如果是这样，是否有更多的公司可以从这两家传奇公司树立的榜样中受益？</blockquote></p><p> <b>Better After a Breakup?</b></p><p><blockquote><b>分手后更好？</b></blockquote></p><p> The first line of questioning is one of whether or not two or three firms are truly better than one.</p><p><blockquote>第一个问题是两三家公司是否真的比一家好。</blockquote></p><p> On paper, it would certainly appear to be so. As of Thursday's market open, GE touted a valuation of about $119 billion as a total entity. However, when broken into constituent parts, RBC Capital Markets analyst Deane Dray suggested up to a 20% upside for investors. Judging by company metrics and projections, it could well be even higher.</p><p><blockquote>理论上，情况确实如此。截至周四开盘，通用电气的整体估值约为1190亿美元。然而，当细分为各个组成部分时，加拿大皇家银行资本市场分析师迪恩·德雷(Deane Dray)建议投资者最多有20%的上涨空间。从公司指标和预测来看，这个数字很可能会更高。</blockquote></p><p> Also, each of the spun-off GE units will be less encumbered by the debt of their former counterparts within the broader company, especially as asset sales in recent years alleviate debt and pension issues. Further, future deals are more likely to reach approval based upon diminished antitrust risk, opening a much wider world of opportunity for investors in the streamlined companies.</p><p><blockquote>此外，每个分拆后的通用电气部门都将减少公司内前同行的债务负担，特别是近年来的资产出售缓解了债务和养老金问题。此外，基于反垄断风险的降低，未来的交易更有可能获得批准，为精简后公司的投资者打开了更广阔的机会世界。</blockquote></p><p> The logic is very much the same for Johnson &amp; Johnson as its pharmaceutical business breaks free from the burdensome troubles of&nbsp;lawsuits over talcum-powder&nbsp;products as well as low-margin medicines like Tylenol. Separation is seen as a key step toward unlocking innovation.</p><p><blockquote>强生公司的逻辑非常相似，因为其制药业务摆脱了滑石粉产品以及泰诺等低利润药物的诉讼麻烦。分离被视为开启创新的关键一步。</blockquote></p><p> \"For the new Johnson &amp; Johnson, this planned separation underscores our focus on delivering industry-leading biopharmaceutical and medical device innovation and technology with the goal of bringing new solutions to market for patients and healthcare systems, while creating sustainable value for shareholders,\" CEO Alex Gorsky explained in a statement. \"We believe that the New Consumer Health Company would be a global leader across attractive and growing consumer health categories, and a streamlined and targeted corporate structure would provide it with the agility and flexibility to grow its iconic portfolio of brands and innovate new products.\"</p><p><blockquote>“对于新的强生公司来说，这一计划中的分离强调了我们对提供行业领先的生物制药和医疗器械创新和技术的关注，目标是为患者和医疗保健系统将新的解决方案推向市场，同时为股东创造可持续的价值，”首席执行官亚历克斯·戈尔斯基在一份声明中解释道。“我们相信，新的消费者健康公司将成为有吸引力且不断增长的消费者健康类别的全球领导者，精简且有针对性的公司结构将为其提供敏捷性和灵活性，以发展其标志性品牌组合和创新新产品。”</blockquote></p><p> To be sure, these targets and optimistic angles assume a rosy trajectory for each of the newly formed firms. As the example of DowDupont (now Dupont (DD) , Dow Inc. (DOW) , and Corteva (CTVA) ) shows, splitting up historic firms with sprawling business is not always a process that progresses precisely to plan.</p><p><blockquote>可以肯定的是，这些目标和乐观的角度为每个新成立的公司假设了一个乐观的轨迹。正如陶氏杜邦公司（现为杜邦公司(DD)、陶氏公司(DOW)和Corteva(CTVA)）的例子所示，拆分业务庞大的历史悠久的公司并不总是一个完全按照计划进行的过程。</blockquote></p><p> Since splitting, the two storied industrial companies, once combined into one mega-conglomerate, have not had much success.</p><p><blockquote>自拆分以来，这两家曾经合并为一家大型企业集团的传奇工业公司并没有取得多大成功。</blockquote></p><p> \"New Dow will be well positioned to drive best-in-class financial performance and shareholder returns,\" Dow CEO Jim Fitterling said ahead of the firm's 2019 spinoff to a standalone firm. \"We have a focused playbook of cost and growth drivers, clear and disciplined capital allocation priorities and a strong balance sheet. Our path to shareholder value creation is straightforward and in our control.\"</p><p><blockquote>陶氏化学首席执行官吉姆·菲特林(Jim Fitterling)在该公司2019年分拆为独立公司之前表示：“新陶氏化学将处于有利地位，能够推动一流的财务业绩和股东回报。”“我们有一个关于成本和增长驱动因素的集中剧本、明确且严格的资本配置优先事项以及强大的资产负债表。我们创造股东价值的道路很简单，并且在我们的控制之下。”</blockquote></p><p> These pronouncements are very much in line with what GE has said of each of its planned new standalone entities. Also, in a move very much reminiscent of GE's quarterly results in recent years, the pronouncement promised much more than what has actually been delivered.</p><p><blockquote>这些声明与通用电气对其计划中的每个新独立实体的说法非常一致。此外，这一举动很容易让人想起通用电气近年来的季度业绩，该声明承诺的内容远远超过实际兑现的内容。</blockquote></p><p> Since it's spinoff was official in April 2019, DOW stock has marked a less than 10% gain. Meanwhile, the S&amp;P has risen over 60% over the same period.</p><p><blockquote>自2019年4月正式分拆以来，道指股价涨幅不到10%。与此同时，标准普尔指数同期上涨了60%以上。</blockquote></p><p> <b>An Example to Follow?</b></p><p><blockquote><b>值得效仿的榜样？</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> Still, assuming things do go well post-breakup, these moves could serve as a benchmark for other bigger, older, and perhaps bloated companies. At the very least, this is the logic adopted not only by aging and perhaps overcomplicated American conglomerates like GE and Johnson &amp; Johnson, but also the nearly 150-year-old Japanese giant Toshiba (TOSBF) . In short, it looks as though a trend is taking hold.</p><p><blockquote>尽管如此，假设分手后事情确实进展顺利，这些举措可以作为其他更大、更老、或许臃肿的公司的基准。至少，这不仅是通用电气和强生等老化、或许过于复杂的美国企业集团采用的逻辑，也是拥有近150年历史的日本巨头东芝（TOSBF）采用的逻辑。简而言之，看起来一种趋势正在形成。</blockquote></p><p> \"Companies that have very diversified portfolios continue to dilute the value to the shareholders,\" David Braun, CEO of M&amp;A advisory firm Capstone Strategic, told Real Money. \"We are in an era where technology and access to capital are different things. A conglomerate is going to have trouble competing.\"</p><p><blockquote>并购咨询公司Capstone Strategic首席执行官David Braun告诉Real Money：“投资组合非常多元化的公司继续稀释股东的价值。”“我们生活在一个技术和获得资本是不同的时代。企业集团将难以竞争。”</blockquote></p><p> He suggested that Emerson Electric (EMR) and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) &nbsp; (BRK.B) are two companies that could likely benefit from a similar breakup.</p><p><blockquote>他表示，艾默生电气（EMR）和伯克希尔哈撒韦公司（BRK.A）（BRK.B）是两家可能从类似分拆中受益的公司。</blockquote></p><p> \"They continue to stockpile excess cash they cannot deploy,\" Braun added, voicing the drawbacks of the behemoth business. \"I'm not sure they benefit from that model any longer.\"</p><p><blockquote>“他们继续储存无法部署的多余现金，”布劳恩补充道，并表达了这项庞大业务的缺点。“我不确定他们是否不再从这种模式中受益。”</blockquote></p><p> On the former, he is far from the first to suggest such a move. RBC's Deane Dray has actually been calling for such a breakup for a few years, alongside 3M (MMM) and Roper Technologies (ROP) , firms he also believes could benefit from being a bit less bulky.</p><p><blockquote>就前者而言，他远不是第一个建议采取这一举措的人。加拿大皇家银行(RBC)的迪恩·德雷(Deane Dray)实际上几年来一直呼吁与3M（3M）和Roper Technologies(ROP)进行这样的分拆，他还认为这些公司可以从规模缩小中受益。</blockquote></p><p> \"We believe the pendulum is still swinging towards the 'urge to demerge' trend,\" he wrote in a note on Tuesday. \"GE's announcement today could embolden the boards of several other multi-industry companies to move ahead on more aggressive portfolio simplification moves, including Emerson, Roper Technologies and 3M.\"</p><p><blockquote>他在周二的一份报告中写道：“我们认为钟摆仍在朝着‘分裂的冲动’趋势摆动。”“通用电气今天的声明可能会鼓励其他几家多行业公司的董事会采取更积极的投资组合简化举措，包括艾默生、罗珀科技和3M。”</blockquote></p><p> As far back as 2019, Dray suggested a breakup of Emerson's automation and commercial divisions could be a boon for shareholders. While the stock has been on a roll since the pandemic began, such a breakup has already been intensely considered by management. In early February, Emerson announced it would not pursue a split \"unless a major strategic acquisition catalyst is actioned.\"</p><p><blockquote>早在2019年，德雷就表示，艾默生自动化和商业部门的分拆可能会给股东带来福音。尽管自疫情爆发以来该股一直在上涨，但管理层已经认真考虑过这种分拆。二月初，艾默生宣布“除非采取重大战略收购催化剂”，否则不会寻求分拆。</blockquote></p><p> At the least, if such a catalyst is to appear the company is clearly willing to consider such an option.</p><p><blockquote>至少，如果出现这样的催化剂，该公司显然愿意考虑这样的选择。</blockquote></p><p> For Berkshire, it is eminently unlikely that any moves come while both Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger helm the conglomerate.&nbsp;But prospects for such a breakup could take many forms considering the business spans industries from insurance to construction to railroads. As such, attempting to size up a form that such a move might take is nearly impossible to forecast.</p><p><blockquote>对于伯克希尔来说，在沃伦·巴菲特和查理·芒格同时执掌该集团的情况下，极不可能有任何举措。但考虑到该业务横跨从保险到建筑再到铁路等多个行业，这种拆分的前景可能有多种形式。因此，试图估计这种举动可能采取的形式几乎是不可能预测的。</blockquote></p><p> Finally, the prospects of a 3M breakup are certainly not out of the question.</p><p><blockquote>最后，3M分拆的前景当然不是不可能的。</blockquote></p><p> Investors in the storied firm are understandably frustrated. Long-term shareholders have seen the stock stagnate over the past five years, marking a basically flat return even after shares were buoyed by demand for PPE and healthcare equipment that the firm manufactured during the pandemic. Looking back on the boost to the shares, many might have been happier with a pure-play option for healthcare and protective equipment rather than a company also weighed down by industrial, transportation, and consumer segments.</p><p><blockquote>这家传奇公司的投资者感到沮丧是可以理解的。长期股东发现该股在过去五年中停滞不前，即使该公司在大流行期间生产的个人防护设备和医疗保健设备的需求提振了该股，回报率也基本持平。回顾股价的上涨，许多人可能更愿意选择纯粹的医疗保健和防护设备，而不是一家同样受到工业、运输和消费领域拖累的公司。</blockquote></p><p> Toward this end, the company may have already telegraphed its intention to move toward breaking up. In March 2019, the company divided its business into four units. The units, entitled safety &amp; industrial, transportation &amp; electronics, healthcare, and consumer respectively, were created in order to focus the business.</p><p><blockquote>为此，该公司可能已经传达了走向分拆的意图。2019年3月，公司将业务拆分为四个部门。这些部门分别名为安全与工业、运输与电子、医疗保健和消费者，是为了集中业务而创建的。</blockquote></p><p> \"We are continuing to advance 3M into the future, and today's actions will strengthen our ability to meet the fast-moving needs of our customers,\" 3M CEO Mike Roman said at the time. \"Our new alignment will leverage our business transformation progress, accelerate growth and deliver greater operational efficiencies.\"</p><p><blockquote>3M首席执行官Mike Roman当时表示：“我们正在继续推动3M走向未来，今天的行动将增强我们满足客户快速变化需求的能力。”“我们的新调整将利用我们的业务转型进展，加速增长并提高运营效率。”</blockquote></p><p> As operational efficiencies have not materialized to the point of elevating the share price, it is not unreasonable to ask questions as to why separate businesses might further tap into the desired efficiency. In short, the healthcare business might be stronger if it was no longer adhered to a scotch tape and post-it manufacturer and vice versa.</p><p><blockquote>由于运营效率尚未达到提高股价的程度，因此提出为什么独立业务可能会进一步利用所需效率的问题并非没有道理。简而言之，如果医疗保健业务不再依赖透明胶带和便利贴制造商，它可能会更强大，反之亦然。</blockquote></p><p> In the end, if the pursuit of separate businesses proves successful in each of the current experiments under way, the lesson may be that bigger is not always better. For investors, it might also open a number of pure-play options that provide a better investment than their parent companies do at present.</p><p><blockquote>最终，如果对独立业务的追求在当前正在进行的每一项实验中都被证明是成功的，那么教训可能是越大并不总是越好。对于投资者来说，它还可能提供许多纯粹的选择，提供比母公司目前更好的投资。</blockquote></p><p></p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>GE and JNJ Aren't the Only Aging Companies That Could Benefit From a Breakup<blockquote>通用电气和强生并不是唯一可以从分拆中受益的老龄化公司</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nGE and JNJ Aren't the Only Aging Companies That Could Benefit From a Breakup<blockquote>通用电气和强生并不是唯一可以从分拆中受益的老龄化公司</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n<p class=\"head\">\n<strong class=\"h-name small\">Thestreet</strong><span class=\"h-time small\">2021-11-15 08:27</span>\n</p>\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n<p>After years of turmoil and a valiant effort by its latest CEO Larry Culp, General Electric (GE) finally gave up in its efforts to salvage its broad-reaching business as a singular unit.</p><p><blockquote>经过多年的动荡和新任首席执行官拉里·卡尔普的勇敢努力，通用电气(GE)最终放弃了将其广泛业务作为一个单一部门挽救的努力。</blockquote></p><p> The company has consistently spun off numerous assets across the sprawling conglomerate in recent years to lessen its debt load.

Further, future deals are more likely to reach approval based upon diminished antitrust risk, opening a much wider world of opportunity for investors in the streamlined companies.</p><p><blockquote>此外，每个分拆后的通用电气部门都将减少公司内前同行的债务负担，特别是近年来的资产出售缓解了债务和养老金问题。此外，基于反垄断风险的降低，未来的交易更有可能获得批准，为精简后公司的投资者打开了更广阔的机会世界。</blockquote></p><p> The logic is very much the same for Johnson &amp; Johnson as its pharmaceutical business breaks free from the burdensome troubles of&nbsp;lawsuits over talcum-powder&nbsp;products as well as low-margin medicines like Tylenol. Separation is seen as a key step toward unlocking innovation.</p><p><blockquote>强生公司的逻辑非常相似，因为其制药业务摆脱了滑石粉产品以及泰诺等低利润药物的诉讼麻烦。分离被视为开启创新的关键一步。</blockquote></p><p> \"For the new Johnson &amp; Johnson, this planned separation underscores our focus on delivering industry-leading biopharmaceutical and medical device innovation and technology with the goal of bringing new solutions to market for patients and healthcare systems, while creating sustainable value for shareholders,\" CEO Alex Gorsky explained in a statement. \"We believe that the New Consumer Health Company would be a global leader across attractive and growing consumer health categories, and a streamlined and targeted corporate structure would provide it with the agility and flexibility to grow its iconic portfolio of brands and innovate new products.\"</p><p><blockquote>“对于新的强生公司来说，这一计划中的分离强调了我们对提供行业领先的生物制药和医疗器械创新和技术的关注，目标是为患者和医疗保健系统将新的解决方案推向市场，同时为股东创造可持续的价值，”首席执行官亚历克斯·戈尔斯基在一份声明中解释道。“我们相信，新的消费者健康公司将成为有吸引力且不断增长的消费者健康类别的全球领导者，精简且有针对性的公司结构将为其提供敏捷性和灵活性，以发展其标志性品牌组合和创新新产品。”</blockquote></p><p> To be sure, these targets and optimistic angles assume a rosy trajectory for each of the newly formed firms. As the example of DowDupont (now Dupont (DD) , Dow Inc. (DOW) , and Corteva (CTVA) ) shows, splitting up historic firms with sprawling business is not always a process that progresses precisely to plan.</p><p><blockquote>可以肯定的是，这些目标和乐观的角度为每个新成立的公司假设了一个乐观的轨迹。正如陶氏杜邦公司（现为杜邦公司(DD)、陶氏公司(DOW)和Corteva(CTVA)）的例子所示，拆分业务庞大的历史悠久的公司并不总是一个完全按照计划进行的过程。</blockquote></p><p> Since splitting, the two storied industrial companies, once combined into one mega-conglomerate, have not had much success.</p><p><blockquote>自拆分以来，这两家曾经合并为一家大型企业集团的传奇工业公司并没有取得多大成功。</blockquote></p><p> \"New Dow will be well positioned to drive best-in-class financial performance and shareholder returns,\" Dow CEO Jim Fitterling said ahead of the firm's 2019 spinoff to a standalone firm. \"We have a focused playbook of cost and growth drivers, clear and disciplined capital allocation priorities and a strong balance sheet. Our path to shareholder value creation is straightforward and in our control.\"</p><p><blockquote>陶氏化学首席执行官吉姆·菲特林(Jim Fitterling)在该公司2019年分拆为独立公司之前表示：“新陶氏化学将处于有利地位，能够推动一流的财务业绩和股东回报。”“我们有一个关于成本和增长驱动因素的集中剧本、明确且严格的资本配置优先事项以及强大的资产负债表。我们创造股东价值的道路很简单，并且在我们的控制之下。”</blockquote></p><p> These pronouncements are very much in line with what GE has said of each of its planned new standalone entities. Also, in a move very much reminiscent of GE's quarterly results in recent years, the pronouncement promised much more than what has actually been delivered.</p><p><blockquote>这些声明与通用电气对其计划中的每个新独立实体的说法非常一致。此外，这一举动很容易让人想起通用电气近年来的季度业绩，该声明承诺的内容远远超过实际兑现的内容。</blockquote></p><p> Since it's spinoff was official in April 2019, DOW stock has marked a less than 10% gain. Meanwhile, the S&amp;P has risen over 60% over the same period.</p><p><blockquote>自2019年4月正式分拆以来，道指股价涨幅不到10%。与此同时，标准普尔指数同期上涨了60%以上。</blockquote></p><p> <b>An Example to Follow?</b></p><p><blockquote><b>值得效仿的榜样？</b></blockquote></p><p></p><p> Still, assuming things do go well post-breakup, these moves could serve as a benchmark for other bigger, older, and perhaps bloated companies. At the very least, this is the logic adopted not only by aging and perhaps overcomplicated American conglomerates like GE and Johnson &amp; Johnson, but also the nearly 150-year-old Japanese giant Toshiba (TOSBF) . In short, it looks as though a trend is taking hold.</p><p><blockquote>尽管如此，假设分手后事情确实进展顺利，这些举措可以作为其他更大、更老、或许臃肿的公司的基准。至少，这不仅是通用电气和强生等老化、或许过于复杂的美国企业集团采用的逻辑，也是拥有近150年历史的日本巨头东芝（TOSBF）采用的逻辑。简而言之，看起来一种趋势正在形成。</blockquote></p><p> \"Companies that have very diversified portfolios continue to dilute the value to the shareholders,\" David Braun, CEO of M&amp;A advisory firm Capstone Strategic, told Real Money. \"We are in an era where technology and access to capital are different things. A conglomerate is going to have trouble competing.\"</p><p><blockquote>并购咨询公司Capstone Strategic首席执行官David Braun告诉Real Money：“投资组合非常多元化的公司继续稀释股东的价值。”“我们生活在一个技术和获得资本是不同的时代。企业集团将难以竞争。”</blockquote></p><p> He suggested that Emerson Electric (EMR) and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) &nbsp; (BRK.B) are two companies that could likely benefit from a similar breakup.</p><p><blockquote>他表示，艾默生电气（EMR）和伯克希尔哈撒韦公司（BRK.A）（BRK.B）是两家可能从类似分拆中受益的公司。</blockquote></p><p> \"They continue to stockpile excess cash they cannot deploy,\" Braun added, voicing the drawbacks of the behemoth business. \"I'm not sure they benefit from that model any longer.\"</p><p><blockquote>“他们继续储存无法部署的多余现金，”布劳恩补充道，并表达了这项庞大业务的缺点。“我不确定他们是否不再从这种模式中受益。”</blockquote></p><p> On the former, he is far from the first to suggest such a move. RBC's Deane Dray has actually been calling for such a breakup for a few years, alongside 3M (MMM) and Roper Technologies (ROP) , firms he also believes could benefit from being a bit less bulky.</p><p><blockquote>就前者而言，他远不是第一个建议采取这一举措的人。加拿大皇家银行(RBC)的迪恩·德雷(Deane Dray)实际上几年来一直呼吁与3M（3M）和Roper Technologies(ROP)进行这样的分拆，他还认为这些公司可以从规模缩小中受益。</blockquote></p><p> \"We believe the pendulum is still swinging towards the 'urge to demerge' trend,\" he wrote in a note on Tuesday. \"GE's announcement today could embolden the boards of several other multi-industry companies to move ahead on more aggressive portfolio simplification moves, including Emerson, Roper Technologies and 3M.\"</p><p><blockquote>他在周二的一份报告中写道：“我们认为钟摆仍在朝着‘分裂的冲动’趋势摆动。”“通用电气今天的声明可能会鼓励其他几家多行业公司的董事会采取更积极的投资组合简化举措，包括艾默生、罗珀科技和3M。”</blockquote></p><p> As far back as 2019, Dray suggested a breakup of Emerson's automation and commercial divisions could be a boon for shareholders. While the stock has been on a roll since the pandemic began, such a breakup has already been intensely considered by management. In early February, Emerson announced it would not pursue a split \"unless a major strategic acquisition catalyst is actioned.\"</p><p><blockquote>早在2019年，德雷就表示，艾默生自动化和商业部门的分拆可能会给股东带来福音。尽管自疫情爆发以来该股一直在上涨，但管理层已经认真考虑过这种分拆。二月初，艾默生宣布“除非采取重大战略收购催化剂”，否则不会寻求分拆。</blockquote></p><p> At the least, if such a catalyst is to appear the company is clearly willing to consider such an option.</p><p><blockquote>至少，如果出现这样的催化剂，该公司显然愿意考虑这样的选择。</blockquote></p><p> For Berkshire, it is eminently unlikely that any moves come while both Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger helm the conglomerate.&nbsp;But prospects for such a breakup could take many forms considering the business spans industries from insurance to construction to railroads. As such, attempting to size up a form that such a move might take is nearly impossible to forecast.</p><p><blockquote>对于伯克希尔来说，在沃伦·巴菲特和查理·芒格同时执掌该集团的情况下，极不可能有任何举措。但考虑到该业务横跨从保险到建筑再到铁路等多个行业，这种拆分的前景可能有多种形式。因此，试图估计这种举动可能采取的形式几乎是不可能预测的。</blockquote></p><p> Finally, the prospects of a 3M breakup are certainly not out of the question.</p><p><blockquote>最后，3M分拆的前景当然不是不可能的。</blockquote></p><p> Investors in the storied firm are understandably frustrated. Long-term shareholders have seen the stock stagnate over the past five years, marking a basically flat return even after shares were buoyed by demand for PPE and healthcare equipment that the firm manufactured during the pandemic. Looking back on the boost to the shares, many might have been happier with a pure-play option for healthcare and protective equipment rather than a company also weighed down by industrial, transportation, and consumer segments.</p><p><blockquote>这家传奇公司的投资者感到沮丧是可以理解的。长期股东发现该股在过去五年中停滞不前，即使该公司在大流行期间生产的个人防护设备和医疗保健设备的需求提振了该股，回报率也基本持平。回顾股价的上涨，许多人可能更愿意选择纯粹的医疗保健和防护设备，而不是一家同样受到工业、运输和消费领域拖累的公司。</blockquote></p><p> Toward this end, the company may have already telegraphed its intention to move toward breaking up. In March 2019, the company divided its business into four units. The units, entitled safety &amp; industrial, transportation &amp; electronics, healthcare, and consumer respectively, were created in order to focus the business.</p><p><blockquote>为此，该公司可能已经传达了走向分拆的意图。2019年3月，公司将业务拆分为四个部门。这些部门分别名为安全与工业、运输与电子、医疗保健和消费者，是为了集中业务而创建的。</blockquote></p><p> \"We are continuing to advance 3M into the future, and today's actions will strengthen our ability to meet the fast-moving needs of our customers,\" 3M CEO Mike Roman said at the time. \"Our new alignment will leverage our business transformation progress, accelerate growth and deliver greater operational efficiencies.\"</p><p><blockquote>3M首席执行官Mike Roman当时表示：“我们正在继续推动3M走向未来，今天的行动将增强我们满足客户快速变化需求的能力。”“我们的新调整将利用我们的业务转型进展，加速增长并提高运营效率。”</blockquote></p><p> As operational efficiencies have not materialized to the point of elevating the share price, it is not unreasonable to ask questions as to why separate businesses might further tap into the desired efficiency. In short, the healthcare business might be stronger if it was no longer adhered to a scotch tape and post-it manufacturer and vice versa.</p><p><blockquote>由于运营效率尚未达到提高股价的程度，因此提出为什么独立业务可能会进一步利用所需效率的问题并非没有道理。简而言之，如果医疗保健业务不再依赖透明胶带和便利贴制造商，它可能会更强大，反之亦然。</blockquote></p><p> In the end, if the pursuit of separate businesses proves successful in each of the current experiments under way, the lesson may be that bigger is not always better. For investors, it might also open a number of pure-play options that provide a better investment than their parent companies do at present.</p><p><blockquote>最终，如果对独立业务的追求在当前正在进行的每一项实验中都被证明是成功的，那么教训可能是越大并不总是越好。对于投资者来说，它还可能提供许多纯粹的选择，提供比母公司目前更好的投资。</blockquote></p><p></p>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n<p> 来源：<a href=\"https://realmoney.thestreet.com/investing/stocks/ge-isn-t-the-only-aging-company-that-could-benefit-from-a-breakup-15830176?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO\">Thestreet</a></p>\n<p>为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化</p>\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"JNJ":"强生","GE":"GE航空航天"},"source_url":"https://realmoney.thestreet.com/investing/stocks/ge-isn-t-the-only-aging-company-that-could-benefit-from-a-breakup-15830176?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1178164317","content_text":"After years of turmoil and a valiant effort by its latest CEO Larry Culp, General Electric (GE) finally gave up in its efforts to salvage its broad-reaching business as a singular unit.\nThe company has consistently spun off numerous assets across the sprawling conglomerate in recent years to lessen its debt load. Perhaps most important was a $20 billion deal to ship its biopharmaceutical business to Danaher (DHR) in 2020. Yet, it appears the moves were not enough to satisfy Culp's ambitious recovery goals for the once-great industrial giant.\n\"The world demands-and deserves-we bring our best to solve the biggest challenges in flight, healthcare, and energy,\" Culp said in a statement on Tuesday. \"By creating three industry-leading, global public companies, each can benefit from greater focus, tailored capital allocation, and strategic flexibility to drive long-term growth and value for customers, investors, and employees. We are putting our technology expertise, leadership, and global reach to work to better serve our customers.\"\nSimilarly, the lawsuit-besieged Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)announced it would spin off its consumer health division from its higher growth pharmaceutical and medical devices divisions in the coming two years.\nJudging by the jump in GE stock after the announcement and the early jolt to Johnson & Johnson stock after its announcement Friday,the market certainly looks as though it was offering its initial approval for the streamlining of separate companies. Still, a few questions quickly come to mind.\nFirst, is this indeed a deft move by management in both cases and therefore deserving of the share-price reaction? And if so, are there more companies that could benefit from following the example set by both of these storied companies?\nBetter After a Breakup?\nThe first line of questioning is one of whether or not two or three firms are truly better than one.\nOn paper, it would certainly appear to be so. As of Thursday's market open, GE touted a valuation of about $119 billion as a total entity. However, when broken into constituent parts, RBC Capital Markets analyst Deane Dray suggested up to a 20% upside for investors. Judging by company metrics and projections, it could well be even higher.\nAlso, each of the spun-off GE units will be less encumbered by the debt of their former counterparts within the broader company, especially as asset sales in recent years alleviate debt and pension issues.

The firm purportedly sold over $30 million worth of two types of tokens that the SEC deemed to be securities that should have been registered as such.\nThe SEC notes that Blockchain Credit Partners founders Gregory Keough and Derek Acree will have to pay fines of $125,000 while the company itself also agreed to pay $12.8 million in disgorgement. The settlement does not indicate an admition or denial the accusations.\nNew Game, Old Rules?\nSEC Enforcement Director Gurbir Grewal explained that \"full and honest disclosure remains the cornerstone of our securities laws — no matter what technologies are used to offer and sell those securities.\" This comment makes it very clear that slapping the DeFi label on a project and hoping to avoid regulation this way works no better than calling it a \"utility token\" prevented falling under the SEC's scrutiny during 2017's initial coin offering craze.\nThe SEC is trying to send the clear rule that the new kind of financial organizations that operate on blockchains have to still play by the old rules that govern traditional finance. At the same time, market onlookers are not sure if the regulator is actually right.\nIn a way, it is a tour de force where the regulator wins every time it has a way to take enforcement action, but these new organizations potentially have a very real way to make enforcement impossible — or at the very least impractical. The only protection against enforcement by the SEC and other regulators is decentralization and the only reason why the SEC was able to act in this case is that a centralized organization such as Blockchain Credit Partners exists.\nWhat's Next:If no company exists and all that there is to a DeFi protocol is a set of smart contracts deployed on a blockchain by a group of anonymous developers scattered around the world there is very little that the SEC can do short of attacking the blockchain itself. This is where the decentralization of the underlying blockchain comes into play: will the regulators for instance be able to force Ethereum's (CRYPTO: ETH) core development team to write an update stopping such a project?\nIf the regulators would actually be able to force the blockchain's developers to write such an update, would node operators and miners or stakers adopt this software or would they refuse to? Such situations will be the real test of the decentralization and reliability of any blockchain that many are waiting to happen. Regulators are seeing power slipping away between their fingers like sand, and they are going to try to grab it.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"COIN":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":442,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":126166480,"gmtCreate":1624547947940,"gmtModify":1631884928250,"author":{"id":"3586416322315154","authorId":"3586416322315154","name":"Waiyanno","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d94e88cfc13d3e583872213190b39f22","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586416322315154","idStr":"3586416322315154"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TRCH\">$Torchlight Energy Resources(TRCH)$</a>buy&amp;Hold🔥🔥🔥💰💰💰","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/TRCH\">$Torchlight Energy Resources(TRCH)$</a>buy&amp;Hold🔥🔥🔥💰💰💰","text":"$Torchlight Energy Resources(TRCH)$buy&Hold🔥🔥🔥💰💰💰","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":9,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/126166480","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":766,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":162988742,"gmtCreate":1624031591786,"gmtModify":1631890613175,"author":{"id":"3586416322315154","authorId":"3586416322315154","name":"Waiyanno","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d94e88cfc13d3e583872213190b39f22","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586416322315154","idStr":"3586416322315154"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GTE\">$Gran Tierra(GTE)$</a>🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WISH\">$ContextLogic Inc.(WISH)$</a>🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥","listText":"<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/GTE\">$Gran Tierra(GTE)$</a>🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/WISH\">$ContextLogic Inc.(WISH)$</a>🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥","text":"$Gran Tierra(GTE)$🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥$ContextLogic Inc.(WISH)$🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/162988742","isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":517,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":169537010,"gmtCreate":1623842244530,"gmtModify":1634027269456,"author":{"id":"3586416322315154","authorId":"3586416322315154","name":"Waiyanno","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d94e88cfc13d3e583872213190b39f22","crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3586416322315154","idStr":"3586416322315154"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"👀👀","listText":"👀👀","text":"👀👀","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/169537010","repostId":"2143679504","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":267,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
