The useful question is whether the concept improves the portfolio after fees, taxes, and risk rather than whether it sounds attractive by itself.
A portfolio review would compare non-assented stock with the investor’s objective, benchmark, risk budget, time horizon, liquidity needs, and existing exposures. A term can be appropriate in one mandate and unsuitable in another.
Ask whether non-assented stock improves expected return, reduces risk, changes liquidity, alters diversification, or creates a new concentration.
