This paper investigates the effect of corporate focus on firm valuation by examining the spinoffs in Asia-Pacific countries. There are spinoffs in the sample period from January 1995 through December 2013. The empirical result shows a significantly positive abnormal return of 1.63% on the announcement day of spinoffs. Both of own- and cross-industry spinoffs have positive market reactions, and the former has a higher abnormal return than the latter. Moreover, the operating performance of spinoffs is not improved. These results are inconsistent with the findings from the U.S. or European markets, and suggest that owned-industry spinoffs are related to corporate restructuring strategies and these strategies can create stock value more than the value induced by improvement in corporate focus.
