Enbridge (ENB) is recognized as a leading energy infrastructure company, largely driven by its extensive pipeline network that transports significant volumes of crude oil and natural gas across North America. Experts appreciate its reliable dividend, historically around 5-6%, which is viewed as a sustainable income stream providing growth potential through cash flow generation. The company benefits from the ongoing energy demand and capital spending in the sector, with many analysts highlighting its defensive nature amidst market volatility. While there are mixed opinions about its current valuation and growth prospects, most see it as a solid long-term hold, particularly due to its strategic positioning in the LNG market and the increasing importance of Canadian energy supplies amid geopolitical tensions.
He doesn't think a 5% weighting in a stock is crazy, it's very reasonable. If you have a lot of conviction in those companies, then that's where your weighting should be. Yield is around 7%. Won't reduce the dividend unless something really terrible happens. Extremely mature company, will grow with GDP plus or minus, highly levered.
Investors own for the dividend. He wouldn't overweight his portfolio with it, but makes sense for a certain demographic.
Difficult couple of years with interest rates. Big acquisition required issuing equity and taking on debt. Acquisition needs to be integrated, but they're pros at that. Diversifies its business. Stock's bounced back since then. No problem maintaining dividend. Becoming more US-focused, Canada's regulations make things too difficult.
Largest pipeline operator in North America. ~7% yield very strong. Expected to continue growing dividend. Recent weakness in energy prices reason for share price weakness. Assets very valuable as hard to replicated. Pause and/or falling interest rates will be good for business. Good for income oriented investors.
