There are many reasons why a company may choose to divest part of its business, from selling a unit so it can focus on core operations to paying down debt to increasing shareholder returns. But the road to separation is often a difficult one, marked by complex accounting, regulatory, and legal issues. Still, if properly executed, a divestiture can be an effective way to create value.
