Union Gas Soars 42% in a Day: Possible Privatization Ahead?

Union Gas surged from 39 cents to 55.5 cents on 4th August, marking a 42.31% increase. The spike occurred during the post-market auction after 5 pm, as the stock had been hovering around 38 cents for most of the day before that.

I bought Union Gas on 2nd July at $0.32 apiece, viewing it as a defensive play with a solid dividend yield—particularly attractive given its insulation from Trump’s reciprocal tariffs. My unrealized net ROI has now reached about 72.7% within about a month. I had not expected such a drastic surge in such a short time, especially since most of the gains happened in a single session.

Based on the chart, I estimate the next resistance level to be around 68 cents, calculated as the average between the recent trough and the peak on 28th Jul 2021.

The company is 68% owned by the Teo family, and there is a possibility it may be taken private by them. As for me, I will sit back with some popcorn and wait for the price to approach that resistance level before deciding whether to divest.
