    Quoted from LTG:

    They would have had a bigger shock if the division "losing" money was sold and then went on to make more money elsewhere.
    Can't let that happen.
    LTG : )™

    I would guess that it is pretty common for when a division is sold off for it to make money. Large companies in several different markets are valued by investors for less than the sum of their parts. In other words, investors tend to value smaller companies with a singular focus more than that same department under a large umbrella company. What happened doesn't make sense but spin offs are not always about a company trying to dump a troubled division and can be about increasing company value by reducing scope.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    Of course.
    Who would buy a division of a company just to loose money with it?

    Mitt Romney and Bain Capital were making money while bankrupting companies like Toy's R Us while stripping them of all their assets.

    Quoted from vid1900:

    That's a very Mitt thing to do.
    But he was still buying companies to make money, not to loose it.

    Yeah, he did but I am just pointing out how a division with no means of making a profit might still be purchased by someone.
