Only if the spun-off company earns one. A newly independent company with its own news coverage, perhaps its own stock listing, and its own stream of stories will usually get its own article quickly, sometimes created by volunteers the week of the separation. However, a spinoff that the press keeps discussing only in connection with its former parent may stay a section inside the parent's article until that changes.
When a new article does appear, the two articles have to divide the shared history sensibly: which one carries the founding story, how the split is described, which one claims the legacy products. In most cases this should be fairly evident, but it isn't always. Editors sort this out by following the sources, but early reporting is often inconsistent, and guidance from a disclosed company representative may be welcomed.
One more place to check after a spinoff: Wikidata, the background database of basic facts that feeds Google's information panels. Ownership listings, logos, and company relationships there regularly point at the wrong entity for months after a split.
