TSE:ENB
Uniquely in between both pipelines and utilities. Likes it. Pre-eminent Canadian entity in the midstream space. Half of it is a high-quality utility. Leverage is a bit high, but you can look past that because the regulated utility assets it has are very high quality in Ontario. What it bought in the US is high quality as well.
It's his top quasi-utility/quasi-midstream. He'd be open to adding today.
Price struggles are due to high leverage, and that execution still has to be proven on the US acquisitions. US rate cuts would also be beneficial.
His clients looking for income own shares in PPL and KEY. Doesn't love buying a company just for the yield. He wants to dig deep and figure out the fundamentals, growth prospects, balance sheet status, and payout ratio. Those are things you need to be very careful of when you're buying companies just for income.
If rates continue to fall, ENB is undervalued. And, yes, it could go up to $60-70. But he wants to own companies where he can get double-digit earnings growth over a 5-year period, and a chance to doube his money. He doesn't see that with ENB.
But if you're OK getting a nice yield without the volatility of a growth name, then this is a perfect fit for your portfolio.
Likes it. Expects it to keep pulling back a little after a strong run this year. They report in early November and he expects a good report. It's a great dividend. Their extensive pipelines carry nat gas and oil. Wait for till $53-54 to enter, though you could buy it here and let it run. Warning: this stock will move with interest rates and long bonds.
