Description:
Novartis said in June that it’s planning to spin the device portions of its Alcon ophthalmology subsidiary into a publicly traded company after years of underperformance, retaining Alcon’s $4.6 billion ophthalmic pharmaceuticals business. The spinoff, expected to close during the first half of 2019, is projected to create a $7 billion enterprise with more than 20,000 employees.
