Premium to NAV of 21.45%
In the past, a premium above 20% would trigger another Raise as the premium allows Middlefield to cover all of the costs of the issue without reducing the NAV of the Unit. The price of Class A Common shares take a hit every time Middlefield does a Raise.
I'm not sure if Middlefield will do another raise now or not. Doing another Raise so quickly after the Sept 8, 2023 Raise would be pretty ballsy but never mistake Middlefield as your friend.
The upward move in the share price of ENS in recent days, highlighted by the jump today implies that the market has stopped piling on the Splits in general and ENS in particular.
I have used the dip in ENB to establish ENS as a core position chosen. While trading around a potential Raise is enticing, ENS represents a "set it and forget it" position for me now which yields 13.2% based upon my cost of $11.75 per share. I antipate realizing a 30% capital gain on the shares over the next two years if not sooner (expected ENS share price of $15.25) as ENB works out the kinks in the acquistion of the 3 Dominion gas distribution assets. The creates an expected annual return of 28% which is plenty. The risk/reward equation was just too juicy for me to ignore.
Now, I just have to sit back and let ENB do what ENB does best which is manage the poop out of their assets.
