Corporations divest unprofitable holdings and divisions all the time. I meant it the sense that it's very possible that Wizards of the Coast continues to make the majority of Hasbro's profits, and increasingly their overall revenues, and Hasbro decides to split the company.I'll give you an example. HP split back in early 2010s into two separate corporations, both with their own management, and both with their own stock symbol. Hewlett Packard Enterprise took all of the IT consulting and software that HP had at the time. HP, Inc. took over the entire printer and ink business.Now the way I said it was a bit tongue in cheek, but the reality is that the bulk of Hasbro is a millstone, and it's Wizards of the Coast that is the shining star within the company. It's entirely possible that Wizards gets spun off, and Hasbro, instead of remaining its own company, sells its brands off to other entities, including private equity.Edit: And by the way, companies restructure, delist, go private, or go public all the time. WOTC could reorganize and go public. HAS could delist or go private.</blockquote>
