COMMENT
Enbridge vs. Suncor He's long both. Suncor is the go-to oil player in Canada. Well-managed with good growth. But he's negative on Enbridge, because they're so levered, and the stock has come well off. They are at least starting to sell off assets. They had a good dividend but were paying out over 100% of earnings. Payout ratio and the balance sheet is now a little better. Neither is high-risk.
TOP PICK
It is going to be more offensive going into 2019. There were so many headwinds on the company. There will be more oil getting out of Canada and this should be a good thing for oil. They reduced their debt. They are checking all the boxes. They say they are going to grow the dividend next year by 10%. Here is a place you can get total returns of 12-13% in the next 6 months. (Analysts’ price target is $53.83)
BUY
A large position for his clients. It has been thrown to the wolves as the Street didn't believe they could sell assets to rationalize their balance sheet, but they did it. It trades cheap. One of their thesis is that Bank of Canada and the Fed is going to slow down on their hikes as the global economy is going to decelerate. In this scenario utilities outperform. The Spectra asset is gassy. With 6-7% dividend yield all you need is 4-5% growth to get a 10-12% return.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Sep 07/17, Down 4%) This got caught up in the Canadian energy space. They are doing all the right things. They are bringing down their debt. Their recent quarter was good. 6% dividend yield and expect 7-8% dividend growth. Sees good value here.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 15/17, Down 6%) They paid off debt and simplified their structure. Trades at a good valuation with a sold balance sheet. Good dividend and he sees 6% EPS growth. It'll go higher.
HOLD
Enbridge is doing the right things, consolidation, paying down debt, selling non-core assets, Line 3. In this market, starting to see its defensive characteristics hold in well now. Rising rates will have an impact.
BUY
It's executed on its plan to sell assets to reduce debt after an acquisition last year. They've streamlined corporate structure and, importantly, they got approval for line 3 in the U.S. This much-needed pipeline in western Canada will come online in the second half of 2019. This will be good for their future growth. Safe dividend that they can grow. She'd buy it here.
BUY
The payout ratio is reassuring. The DRIP has been suspended. Their leverage is better than what it was a year ago. A lot of reasons to be positive with this name. Predictable income.
BUY
Long term his outlook is good. They went through their restructuring. They bit off more than they could chew in a recent acquisition. Their outlook has improved substantially. As interest rates go up, however, they get hurt as a lot of investors buy them for the dividend.
HOLD
It is a dividend payer trading near its low levels. The bottom is $37 but $40 is a volume weighted price. It is a safe enough stock considering the business it is in. You can hold on to it. Make sure it stays above $39.50.
BUY
Buy or stay away? Likes the pipelines for the dividend and they’re monopolies. Pension funds are starting to get nervous and raise cash. With the selling, the dividend yield goes up. At some point, he’ll start adding. When cheap money dries up, fracking will reduce, and this will benefit Canadian energy.
BUY

He likes it at this level. The line 3 expansion is coming. All interest-sensitives have pulled back. They've tried to fix their balance sheet, which they've succeeded, but that hasn't stopped the stock from decreasing. Now is a good time to buy. They are raising their dividend.

COMMENT

Preferred Enbridge shares: If you're looking for a preferred energy stock that pays a big dividend, then look at this. The preferred share market is complicated, some being extremely interest rate sensitive. Others are called "rate resets" which temper the impact of rate increases. ENB preferreds will never go much above $25 (nor fall from it).

PAST TOP PICK

(Past Top Pick Oct. 18, 2017, Down 13%) This hasn't worked out yet. Interest rates have taken a bite out of the valuation of interest-sensitive stocks, and their Line 3 replacement pipeline faced more opposition than he expected. Also, the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission invalidated the cost of capital advantage that ENB was getting from a complex structure of listed limited partnerships. At least, this will now clean up that messy corporate structure. They are integrating their Spectra Energy deal. The dividend is safe and will grow. Also, the rotation into defensive names like this may be a tailwind.

PAST TOP PICK

(A top pick May 11/18, up 3%). Still likes this. It has been beaten up. Generates a great dividend which creates stability.
