Igor: Why did PAGP go up from 16 to 33 in one day in November? Any particular event?

Igor Greenwald

Igor Greenwald

Yes, there was a reverse split to adjust the price of PAGP stock such that one share now represents indirect ownership of one PAA unit. Only difference between the two now is in the tax treatment: PAA is an MLP while PAGP is a dividend-paying corporation. But PAGP has a large tax shield so its distributions will be a return of capital, yet it remains suitable for investment funds and IRA accounts. Hence the slight premium over PAA (was much wider last year).

I own etp would it be a mistate to buy sxl since they are going to merge

They’re effectively price-linked by the merger terms so it wouldn’t be a mistake so much as simply adding to your position…
