RE:BK unit nav to DEC 29 @ about $20.34mouserman wrote: So the spreadsheet saying BK gained about 8 cents since the mid month update, and that means the common shares have a value of 10.34 before distributions and about $10.10 after distributions are dished out.
Premium then would be $3.13 or about 31%. Only DFN has a higher premium that i have seen.
Because Bk.pr.a trades at a small premium the premium for BK is even more impressive vs DFN where DFN.pr.a trades at an 80 cent discount. This is no surprise given the 8% coupon for BK.pr.a and the 5.5% coupon for DFN.pr.a. Given the disparity between the values of the pref shares I find using unit NAV comparisons more valid than common shares alone. ps I feel like I have been calling for BK new issue forever but Quadravest must have some post Xmas bills to pay so expect an issue early in the new year.
