May saw selective convergence reassert itself across Europe’s dual-class universe, with broad tightening in several structurally wide and liquidity-driven spreads offsetting renewed widening in Carlsberg and Grifols.
Both median and mean tightened, confirming no systemic repricing of voting rights. Dispersion remains driven by liquidity, concentrated ownership, implementation constraints and episodic positioning reversals across Europe’s dual-class universe.
Handelsbanken, Media-for-Europe and Telecom Italia delivered the strongest tightening moves in May, while Carlsberg and Grifols reversed sharply, re-widening after April’s convergence phase.

<ul>
<li>April saw dispersion re-expand, with median and mean widening modestly, confirming no systemic repricing of voting rights but renewed divergence across liquidity- and structure-driven dual-class pairs.</li>
<li>Convergence remained selective: Grifols, MFE and Sixt tightened, while Carlsberg, Fuchs and Handelsbanken re-widened, highlighting the episodic nature of ord/pref convergence.</li>
<li>Telecom Italia transitions towards corporate-action, while Nordic anomalies—particularly Handelsbanken—continue to dominate dispersion and constrain arbitrage.</li>

<ul>
<li>January saw post year-end normalisation, with selective convergence resuming while the median voting premium remained stable, confirming no systemic repricing of control across Europe’s dual-class universe.</li>
<li>Liquidity and structure drove outcomes, with convergence working in scalable, index-exposed pairs, while a small number of structurally constrained names continued to dominate dispersion.</li>
<li>Opportunities remain selective into 2026, favouring liquidity-driven convergence and balance-sheet normalisation, while extreme Nordic dislocations persist as high-dispersion, structurally constrained trades.</li>

Liquidity and structure drove outcomes, with convergence working in scalable, index-exposed pairs, while a small number of structurally constrained names continued to dominate dispersion.
Opportunities remain selective into 2026, favouring liquidity-driven convergence and balance-sheet normalisation, while extreme Nordic dislocations persist as high-dispersion, structurally constrained trades.

<ul>
<li>December spreads were technically noisy but structurally neutral: median unchanged, dispersion high, with year-end flows interrupting—but not invalidating—ongoing convergence across Europe’s dual-class universe.</li>
<li>Marginal voting premia continue to erode where control is entrenched: Henkel, Grifols and Roche show further compression as governance risk fades and incremental voting rights lose economic relevance.</li>
<li>Nordic anomalies remain unresolved: Handelsbanken’s &gt;70% premium and SSAB’s anchored discount continue to reflect flow and structural frictions rather than voting economics, offering the clearest dispersion opportunities into 2026.</li>
