Enbridge (ENB) is viewed as a solid and well-managed company with a strong dividend yield averaging about 5.5%. Experts highlight its financial discipline and long-term growth potential, primarily due to its extensive pipeline network and infrastructure projects in North America. However, the stock faces challenges, including high capital intensity, a fair amount of debt, and competition for investor interest from faster-growing companies. While many analysts point to a steady income story, they express caution about overall valuation and potential for significant growth. The consensus leans towards a steady investment for income rather than growth, emphasizing the need for caution at higher price points given its recent uptick in value.

He likes the pipelines. Valuations have plunged since 2015. No growth here, but trade at 12x earnings and pays a great dividend of 7.2%. They problems like their Michigan pipeline, but solved it. ENB is not tied to the commodity price in the oil they move. A great, safe play. Pembina is his #1 choice here and TC Energy is #3.
Facing extreme increases in cost of building out. Over 90% contracted revenues, so dividend is fairly safe. Yield close to 7% is extremely attractive, company anticipates growing it 5-7% per year.
