This is a multi-country event study that involved 1,032 spin-off transactions with 921 parents’ companies and 1,101 subsidiaries. We assessed spin-off determinants for short- and long-term performance. Moreover, we investigated whether is adequate to compare market returns of companies from several countries using their local index. Our short-term (CAR) results were aligned with previous studies with a CAR near the event window of +1.6%, p<0.01. Long-term (BHAR) for the parent was -4.86%, p<0.01, for the subsidiary was -0.47%, non-significant, and combined -2.93%, p<0.01. There is no apparent influence of potential determinants for CAR or BHAR. Grouping the best-performing companies versus the worst performance, we found a similar profile in both groups. These observations were made for CAR and BHAR results.
