This summary was created by AI, based on 38 opinions in the last 12 months.
Enbridge (ENB) is viewed positively among experts, recognized for its stability and consistent dividend payments, currently around 5%. Many analysts appreciate the company's strong management and disciplined financial practices, highlighting its potential for modest EBITDA growth of approximately 5% yearly. Despite being a blue-chip company with a significant pipeline infrastructure, there are concerns regarding its capital intensity and relatively high debt levels. The stock's performance can be affected by market conditions, particularly fluctuations in long bond yields and oil prices, which may pose challenges for valuation. Overall, while some experts express caution about the potential for price declines, ENB remains a solid choice for those prioritizing income over growth in their investment strategy.
Merging with Spectra Energy, which will give them a more balanced state of about 48% natural gas and 40% oil. With the federal government approving the pipeline to Vancouver, this company lost Northern Gateway. You are looking at a better balance, and also there is going to be a new expansion of pipeline down into the Chicago area, which is going to offer more capacity for Saskatchewan. Americans are starting to talk about a pipeline running to the east coast, which would tie into Chicago. He is quite positive on this company and is looking at it again.
Dividend play? This is one of those great companies, and the question is, is it in as good an industry as it has been historically. They’ve had a wonderful track record of paying dividends. Made significant acquisitions in the US, which he likes. He is not adding to his holdings as he thinks he can do better elsewhere when looking for yield.
This is a great company. Trading at 23X earnings. Their acquisition of Spectra Energy was very smart. Thinks they were uncomfortable with the situation in Canada and preferred to be operating in the US. Today, Northern Gateway was rejected by the government, but they did approve Line 3 with conditions. Expects that they feel their growth will come from someplace else, not Canada. He continues to like this stock.
This is a good example of how seasonality works most of the time, but not all of the time. Historically it does very well between now and about the 1st week in January. This year, not so much. It has a long-term upward trend, but during the last month or so it has been trading below its normal level. Currently it is going sideways at a time when it should be going higher. Not one of his favourite situations. Any sort of strength in the next little while would be an opportunity to take some money off the table.
They’ve had a pretty aggressive dividend increase program based on existing projects that have been fully funded. If the dividend goes up as they have planned in 2019, he would be picking up a 5.07% yield with Book. If the planned dividend increase continues, in 5 years the yield with book would be 6.07%. Besides that, this new powerhouse energy firm spanning both countries, is going to ease the problem of interconnecting lines from Canada to the US. Dividend yield of 3.64%.
It was primarily a crude oil transportation company, but the Spectra Energy acquisition gives them 50/50 Nat. gas and oil exposure now. There is no commodity risk and they have long term contracts in place. They have a 2.7% yield, although not the highest in the group. They have visible cash flow growth going forward. They have projected 10-12% dividend growth for the next 9 years and she expects share price appreciation.
His model price is $40.56, a minus 27%. This doesn’t include their Spectra acquisition, which may take a year or more. There is no real fundamental value now. If we get US treasuries going back up, your dividend yield of about 4% is not going to look too good.
