Enbridge (ENB) continues to attract positive attention from experts as a solid investment in the energy infrastructure sector. With a competitive dividend yield of around 5% to 6% and consistent cash flow, it is regarded as a reliable income-generating stock. Analysts highlight its significant role in moving crude oil and natural gas across North America, benefiting greatly from the ongoing LNG boom. However, some caution against entering the market at its current price levels, suggesting a potential pullback could offer better buying opportunities. Overall, the energy sector appears to be in a prolonged bull phase, with tailwinds from increasing energy demand and political support for infrastructure development, positioning Enbridge favorably for future growth.
The view was that falling oil would mean less Alberta production. To really impact their growth visibility you're going to have to have enormous change in Alberta production. For that you probably need $60 oil. He sees EPS growth of 12% for the next 5 years. Low payout ratio of 43%, so they have plenty of room to revisit their dividend policy, which they might. There is a lot of growth coming from drop-downs. Their earnings are exceptionally high quality. Yield of 2.67%.
Pipelines. Are these coming down because the whole market is, or is it more specifically because there is less demand for oil? It is just a general drag by the whole market and the whole market is re-pricing to a lower level. Feels there is going to be continued demand for oil. We have a lot of oil and we have great pipelines. If you can get this at a lower level, that would be great. Historically it has been a very, very good performer.
Long-term hold and is the dividend safe? Doesn’t own this because it is large and when they do have growth projects, it is harder to move the needle relative to some of the smaller companies. They do have some pretty good visible long-term growth and it is looking quite attractive here. He would suggest that you nibble away and leave yourself some room in case it does get cheaper.
Stock has pulled back by about 8%. They have very good earnings visibility on projects that they have in their $33 billion secured backlog with long-term contracts in place. With that backlog, they have now extended their 10%-12% compounded annual growth EPS out to 2018. Along with that, dividend increases, at a minimum, are going to be at the same pace.
Has a little of this in some accounts, but only from a legacy position. Has been an extremely well run company, but always sold at somewhat of a premium multiple. His problem is that a lot of the pipelines, at over 20X earnings, look expensive at current levels. The price you are paying today is anticipating a lot of future dividend increases. People should be concerned about how much debt is going to be financed for pipeline growth.
