Bottom line

While the spin-off will undoubtedly unlock value, investors need to be careful that the stock doesn’t get ahead of itself. The recent gains have been substantial already.

As the AP report shows, the general analyst community is already high on Time Warner Inc (NYSE:TWX) even with recent history showing that the down and out business can thrive when provided with a fresh start. Don’t be so quick to dismiss Time, Inc. The massive tablet success might be just what is needed to develop a successful digital magazine market. With the hiring of an innovative CEO, this spin-off that should occur towards the end of 2013 might just hit the sweet spot for investors.
