Unlike a sale, the division remains owned by the original shareholders but receives its own valuation, its own investor story and its own board. Continental and ThyssenKrupp follow this logic. The third case, Infineon, is not a spin\u2011off at all but a portfolio reallocation through capital allocation: the group does not carve out a division, but shifts CapEx visibly into two future growth axes. That is also portfolio work, just not via a notary.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:32px;margin-bottom:16px;\">Continental: The Clean Split<\/h2>\n<p>Continental is being broken up into three independent champions. The then\u2011CEO Nikolai Setzer laid out the logic at the shareholders\u2019 meeting on 25\u202fApril\u202f2025 in Hanover. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.continental.com\/en\/press\/press-releases\/20250425-annual-shareholders-meeting\/\">automotive spin\u2011off<\/a> launched in September\u202f2025 under the name Aumovio. ContiTech is slated to follow in 2026 with a clear industrial focus. Setzer sharpened the goal at the meeting: an 80\u202fpercent industrial share in the ContiTech portfolio. Since 17\u202fDecember\u202f2025 Christian K\u00f6tz has been CEO and runs the remaining core tyre business.<\/p>\n<p>The logic behind it is financially sober. Tyres, industrial rubber and automotive electronics are three business models with different investment cycles, margins and investor groups. A holding that bundles such models must allocate capital, management attention and the investor story across very divergent logics. That is where valuation discounts often appear. The clean split is the costlier, more honest answer.<\/p>\n<p>Risk: ContiTech will operate as a standalone company without group cash flow, initially weathering a weak industrial cycle on its own. The parallel sale of the OESL unit to US private\u2011equity firm Regent shows how narrow the negotiating space has become between an operational restructurer and a financial investor.<\/p>\n<div class=\"evm-stat evm-stat-highlight\" style=\"text-align:center;background:#0a1e3d;border-radius:12px;padding:32px 24px;margin:32px 0;\">\n<div style=\"font-size:48px;font-weight:700;color:#fff;-webkit-text-fill-color:#fff;letter-spacing:-0.03em;\">3,66 Mrd. \u20ac<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:15px;color:#e0e0e0;-webkit-text-fill-color:#e0e0e0;margin-top:8px;max-width:480px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;\">Infineon revenue Q1 FY\u202f2026 (quarter ended 31\u202fDecember\u202f2025).

The group is not carving out a division; instead it is shifting capital visibly into two future axes: AI power supply for data centres and software\u2011defined vehicles. In February\u202f2026 management adjusted the CapEx programme, raising it from the original \u20ac2.2\u202fbillion to \u20ac2.7\u202fbillion. CEO Jochen Hanebeck cites these two growth axes as the rationale. This, too, is portfolio work\u2013just via capital allocation rather than a shareholders\u2019 meeting.<\/p>\n<p>The numbers behind it are asymmetric. In the AI data\u2011centre segment Infineon expects roughly \u20ac1.5\u202fbillion of revenue for FY\u202f2026 and about \u20ac2.5\u202fbillion for FY\u202f2027. The automotive semiconductor business is not yet contributing to margin. Q1 growth came almost entirely from AI, while the end\u2011customer automotive market remains hesitant. Infineon has been the world\u2019s number\u202fone in automotive semiconductors for six consecutive years and is still investing heavily during a weak phase.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infineon.com\/our-stories\/software-defined-vehicles\">ams\u202fOSRAM sensor acquisition<\/a> for \u20ac570\u202fmillion, closing in Q2\u202f2026, is the second bet: that automotive sensorics will become central in the next platform generation. Waiting for vehicle volumes to recover will cost two platform generations. Whoever invests now accepts margin compression on the way. Infineon has chosen the second option, evident in the higher CapEx line. The management lesson for other boards: capital allocation will become a strategic visibility question in 2026. Companies that do not spin off can still send portfolio signals, provided the CapEx picture remains consistent.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:32px;margin-bottom:16px;\">ThyssenKrupp: The Long Farewell<\/h2>\n<p>TKMS has been formally independent since 8\u202fAugust\u202f2025, and the shares have been listed in Frankfurt ever since. 49\u202fpercent is held directly by shareholders, 51\u202fpercent remains with ThyssenKrupp AG as a cash\u2011flow reserve. The order backlog stands at over 18\u202fbillion Euro, driven by the European defence boom.<\/p>\n<p>Steel is the tougher story.<\/p>\n<p>CEO Miguel L\u00f3pez is negotiating under NDA with Jindal Steel International, but says he does not want to sell at any price. The valuation has improved: thanks to the restructuring collective agreement with the workforce, the sale of the HKM stake to Salzgitter, and the new EU steel protection tariffs. Materials Services will examine, starting in autumn\u202f2026, an IPO, spin\u2011off or sale.<\/p>\n<p>The corporate logic is being rewritten step by step. ThyssenKrupp has long been removed from the DAX and is now listed in the MDAX. The diversification that was seen as a risk\u2011spreader in the 1990s has led to a valuation abstraction that the capital market no longer rewards. Three divisions (Marine, Steel, Materials Services) attract three different investor groups. Within the holding structure they no longer share a common narrative.<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"border-left:4px solid #d65663;margin:32px 0;padding:20px 24px;background:#0a1e3d;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:1.1em;line-height:1.6;color:#e0e0e0;-webkit-text-fill-color:#e0e0e0;\">\n<p>\u201cWe are creating three strong, independent champions that will achieve their full growth and value creation potential as independent companies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><cite style=\"display:block;margin-top:12px;font-size:0.8em;color:#8090a0;-webkit-text-fill-color:#8090a0;font-style:normal;\">&#8211; Nikolai Setzer, former CEO of Continental AG, Annual General Meeting 25\u202fApril\u202f2025 (Source: continental.com)<\/cite>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 style=\"margin-top:32px;margin-bottom:16px;\">What C\u2011Level Executives Read Into This<\/h2>\n<p>Three different restructuring logics, one common pattern: corporate diversification as a risk\u2011spreader has lost its valuation premium. Focused stand\u2011alone companies with their own investor story are reclaiming it, whether through spin\u2011offs (Continental, ThyssenKrupp) or visible capital allocation (Infineon). Sequencing becomes tricky (Continental: first spin off the automotive unit, then ContiTech, then develop the tyre core) as well as dealing with divisions that still need cash in the transition phase or are politically burdened, such as steel at ThyssenKrupp.<\/p>\n<p>For CIOs and CFOs in DACH\u2011mid\u2011size conglomerates with multi\u2011division portfolios, three concrete questions arise. First: Which divisions still share a common tech roadmap and which are linked only by accounting? Second: How much cash\u2011flow subsidy currently flows between the divisions and is it transparent? Third: Would a dedicated investor for each individual division pay a higher multiple than the holding\u2019s per\u2011share valuation? If this assessment repeatedly yields a clear yes, the holding structure belongs on the agenda of the board and supervisory board. Tax, governance, financing, covenants, co\u2011determination and customer contracts will then decide the how.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin-top:32px;margin-bottom:12px;\">Three Restructurings Compared<\/h3>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0 32px 0;font-size:0.95em;\">\n<thead>\n<tr style=\"background:#fafafa;border-bottom:2px solid #d65663;\">\n<th style=\"padding:12px;text-align:left;\">Group<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:12px;text-align:left;\">What\u2019s Changing Now<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:12px;text-align:left;\">What Driver<\/th>\n<th style=\"padding:12px;text-align:left;\">What C\u2011Level Reads From It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #e0e0e0;\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;\">Continental<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px;text-align:left;\">ContiTech spin\u2011off 2026, after Aumovio (09\/2025)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px;text-align:left;\">Three business models with separate investor profiles<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px;text-align:left;\">Sequencing decides before speed.
