Enbridge (ENB.TO)

Not sure. It could go lower. A solid company, but carries enormous debt. A point to consider if they make an acquisition. They have fine assets with long-term value. We won't stop using natural gas. Pays a 8.25% dividend which is sustainable.

Higher interest rates have been a headwind. Likes the yield on ENB (over 7%) and PPL (6.5%).

Historically a good business to invest in.
Size of company making it difficult to earn large returns.
Higher debt load a concern.
If share price falls, would invest.
Current share price too high.
Legacy assets are valuable.

Real political risk, in that neither Trudeau nor Biden likes the primary business. More volume sensitive than price sensitive to oil and nat gas. Political roadblocks to near-term attractiveness. Long-term, very good for fairly stable income. Oligopolies, local monopolies. Not the growth of 20 years ago.

Always a concern when companies crank up the debt, and using debt to continue to pay dividends. Does have cashflow, but it's leveraged and more so than peers. He'd be happier if it reduced debt. Yield is 7.8%, don't be seduced.

History of growing dividend almost every single year.
Current yield ~7%.
Expecting a ~$50 share price in 2024.
Falling interest rates will increase value of share price.
Very attractive assets that are hard to replicate.
Excellent technology in energy transition.

Solid company. Pipeline companies get lumped into the energy sector. Backbone infrastructure assets. So hard and expensive to build more in the sector. Dividend aristocrat.

Lots of debt on company, but is sustainable given structure.
Energy infrastructure sector undervalued.
Worry that assets stranded not a valid concern.
Energy demand rising - will make infrastructure assets very valuable.
Good long term investment.
Strong dividend at 7.5% - believes is sustainable. 

Doesn't show a lot of growth, trading around 16x. You can get banks at 8-9x, with a similar amount of growth. Both good long-term wealth builders at these levels. ENB has more upside over the next year or two. With higher rates, servicing the debt does become an issue.

He likes it and the gas distribution business should do well in Canada. It has great assets and is one of the only ways to distribute hydro-carbon assets to markets outside of Canada.. He is comfortable with the debt and it pays a dividend of over 7%

Pulled back. Assets are important. Pipeline business is not going away. Great dividend. Incredibly well run. Hard to get things done in Canada, so company is focused on US. Good time to buy at these levels.

If you value the income from that 7% dividend yield, stick with it. Assets are in the fossil fuel space and it depends on that space, but the company doesn't produce the product just transports it. Assets are hard to replicate. Main concern is debt in the face of higher interest rates. Keep an eye on it, but hold for now. A better choice than the rest right now.

It's been in the doldrums, ranging between $47-50. If it break below $46, it will likely fall lower to say $44. ENB is well-held like RY-T. The shares have fallen to levels of November 2021. Would definitely buy, but there will be a lot of choppiness. Pick up a partial position and wait.

A utility like Southern (SO) pays a yield of 4.1%, but Enbridge pays over 7% and has the same cash flow. Sell Southern and buy Enbridge. Last Friday, ENB reported a strong quarter, but shares were flat.

Expect slowing dividend increases.
Heavy amount of debt that is manageable.
Current yield is strong.
Wait to buy.
Business needs to improve balance sheet.
