TRENTON, N.J. - Tyco International Ltd., still recovering from scandals that saw its longtime former chief executive sentenced to prison, said Friday it plans to split into three public companies.Carving Tyco's electronics and health care businesses from its remaining operations was expected, but Wall Street still punished the company on news the breakup would reduce profits, cost $1 billion and take a year to complete.Tyco, best known for its ADT home alarm systems, warned its first quarter and full-year 2006 earnings from continuing operations would be lower than expected.Its shares tumbled $3.19, or 10.5 percent, to close at $27.12 in trading on the New York Stock Exchange.Tyco, which has its operational offices in West Windsor, said the breakup followed an extensive strategic review and will strengthen the businesses. Operations remaining in the core company include security and fire-protection services."We believe that separation is a logical next step in Tyco's evolution," said Chairman and Chief Executive Ed Breen in a morning conference call. He said the board concluded the current structure was inhibiting growth possibilities of the health care and electronics businesses, both leaders in their respective fields.In a move expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2007, Tyco will separate the companies through issuing tax-free stock dividends to shareholders, who will own dividend-producing stock in all three companies.

However,
a poor presentation can look brilliant
with a well-prepared speaker.
