Christine Poole Enbridge ENB-T BUY Jun 27, 2025

Canadian infrastructure name. She owns for income in client portfolios. Robust business model. Often has long-term, take-or-pay contracts; visible cashflow stream. Guided that it can grow EBITDA (cashflows) by single digits over next few years. She'd expect dividend increases to reflect that. 

Stock's pulled back with underlying commodity prices. Should have lower volatility than energy producers. Yield is ~6%.

Great income investment with its great dividend yield. Plans to expand main line and continue capex. Returning $$ to shareholders. Has become more US-based. Great story, continues to execute well, plans in place for future.

Q1 EPS of $1.03 beat estimates of 96c; revenue of $18.5B beat estimates handily. EBITDA of $5.82B beat estimates by 4.9%. 2025 guidance was affirmed. It was a broad 'beat' across the board. EBITDA rose 18%. EPS rose 12%. Distributable cash rose 9.1%. We would consider the results very strong.

A quality Canadian dividend payer. The risk in any dividend stock is that the dividend can become too large for the company to pay, so they cut it, like BCE just did. He prefers ZWU.

It has run up quite a bit and its value today is where it has peaked in the past. It has benefited from interest rate cuts and has exposure to natural gas and LNG.

Reasonable valuation. Doing exactly what they said they would. Lots of capex projects, small ones and larger ones, well diversified. Today announced asset sale, so proceeds can fund growth instead of having to issue equity. Yield is almost 6%, with growth.

We now have a gateway to Asia. With tariffs, Canadian energy will not be welcome in the US. Integrated nature of its pipelines make it a long-term asset with growth capabilities that will reward shareholders well. Buy when it goes on sale, trim any gains. Good place to be, core holding for him.

Where will supply shift? This year, the Canadian E&Ps are outproducing all other international E&Ps, including Europe, US or Australia. He also bought ENB, which delivers the crude oil to the US. The US refiners have an insatiable need for Canadian oil. There's a 10% tariff on Canadian oil. Well, guess what--the Canadian oil companies are not eating the tariff, but rather the US refiners. If there's a shift in supply (given Mideast tensions), Canada will be able to supply that oil. US energy companies have a -12% earnings estimate this year vs. Canadian energy of only -0.20%

A lot of defensive names ran up recently as people used them as places to hide. Valuation still very attractive. Dividend yield is quite strong. Growth outlook is reasonable. Reasonable name for income. Attractive entry point would be something below $60. Yield is 6.1%.
