Wall Street is preparing for a wave of spinoffs as a slew of household-name companies moves to streamline operations.

Within the next two weeks, Kellogg Co. will separate its North American cereal business from its portfolio of snacks, frozen foods and emerging-markets brands; Danaher Corp. is spinning out Veralto Corp., its environmental and applied solutions segment; and Aramark will carve out Vestis, its uniforms and workplace supplies business.
