Last Dec WLT spun off about 86 mill shares of MWA class B stock. Last May WLT craved out 25 mill shares of MWA in an IPO at 16.00
Today, MWA goes fot 13.56 and MWA/B goes for 13.25.
Both have identical rights EXCEPT that MWA/b has 8 votes to 1 for MWA.
By all rights, MWA/B is the superior stock of the two. It has 8 times the voting power with more liquidity.
Since both shares have been trading, MWA trades more shares, and is priced higher than MWA/B.
I know there still might be post spin selling in MWA/B. But this does not explain why anybody would buy MWA over MWA/B. But that has been the case so far.
So far the efficent market is losing.
