Post-Spin, BHP (BHP AU) should look more like RIO. It's not clear it does, but it does move around in a way that allows one to harvest ratio noise. 

Bank of Kyoto (8369 JP) has been the poster child for "deep value" Japan traders and occasional wannabe activists. It has a huge equity portfolio which dwarfs market cap. 
Fourteen years after its acquisition, Incitec Pivot (IPL AU) plans to demerge Dyno Nobel from its fertilizer ops. The split has been a long time coming.
