ALA.PR.E Redemption Considered
November 7th, 2023AltaGas Ltd. has announced:
ALA.PR.E was issued as a FixedReset, 5.00%+317, that commenced trading 2013-12-13 after being announced 2013-12-4. The 2018-11-28 notice of extension was reported on PrefBlog. The issue reset at 5.393% effective December 31, 2018. I recommended against conversion and there was no conversion. The issue is tracked by HIMIPref™ but is relegated to the Scraps – FixedReset Discount subindex due to credit concerns.
The market seems to be ascribing a pretty fair chance of success with their refunding (which is reasonable, since the company will be very hesitant to announce a longshot): the issue was quoted at 22.20-22 at the ‘close’ (actually, 4:30pm) yesterday, opened at 22.20 today (some poor sucker with a GTC order? Or somebody bailing without seeing the news?), traded just below 24.50 at about 10:30am, and is now (11:20am) at 24.94. So some people are making a few bucks!
This is another example of just how cheap the preferred share market is nowadays against its comparables.
Thanks to the Assiduous Reader who brought this to my attention!
