TEL actually looks better than COV: Company is trading at ~1.4P/S, 1.6 P/book, ~16 2006 P/E (or possibly similar 2007 P/E after removing extraordinary items). There was about 9% sales growth in 2007, compared to no growth in COV. On the other hand ROE based on 2007 equity and 2006 earnings is about 17% for COV and 10% for TEL. For both companies, a substantial portion of equity is Goodwill and intangibles... I still think both companies would be buys only based on the theory that all spinoffs do well. I don't see them as very attractive value propositions otherwise.
