Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The Supreme Court decision reduces activist-driven cost and risk for CEFs, aiding discount stability and potentially narrowing NAV discounts further. Given ADX’s history of discount tightening following activist pressure and a past dividend move spurred by Saba, the stock could see continued upside as it trades closer to NAV in the near term.
