General Electric - >>> Spinning off segments can unlock value, reduce risk or both. General Electric Co. GE, -1.96% for example, has been working for years to reduce the size of its finance arm, GE Capital. The company completed an initial offering of its U.S. credit-card business, Synchrony Financial SYF, -1.92% in July. That move followed GE’s sale of its 51% stake in NBC Universal to Comcast Corp. CMCSA, -2.11% in 2013. The company also agreed in September to sell its appliances division to Electrolux AB ELUXB, -4.50% in a deal expected to close in 2015.

GE still has quite a diverse set of businesses, with six industrial segments — Power and Water, Oil and Gas, Energy Management, Aviation, Health Care and Transportation — in addition to GE Capital.
