This summary was created by AI, based on 38 opinions in the last 12 months.
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.
The longer the bond term, the longer the duration, and the more exposure to interest rates moving up and down. A longer-term bond will likely outperform in a falling rate environment. Not averse to this plan, but better opportunities even at 3.5-4% mid-term bonds.
You can also get 6-7% on some equities, but it does depend on your time horizon and when you might need the money. If your timeline is 3+ years, a company like ENB or POW would be a better place.
Dividend very safe. Likes management. Price of nat gas doesn't really matter, it's more about aggregate demand. Renewables too. Population growth story for Canada and US. Nat gas is reasonably clean burning, so demand will continue.
These stocks should catch a bid if market thinks interest rate volatility will come down.
Look at their payout ratio and cash flow. ENB is making a big bet on natural gas in the US, which is the right move. The US needs nat gas production. But the dividend is very high and the balance sheet weak. He hopes interest rates come down. If you own this, you will do okay and collect the dividend, but it's not for him as a long-term investor.
We think ENB remains a BUY for income. The Permian Basin and pipeline JV is fairly big, with ENB committing $350M plus $150M for a 19% interest in the JV. While big, keep in mind ENB's market value is $101B, so it may not be a huge financial impact right away. But certainly these JVs are positive developments to provide longer term revenue and cash flow visibility and growth.

He's a Base Breakout Buyer. Usually that's very bullish. He bought this on the breakout. First resistance is around $55, and then around $60. Nice dividend, probably some upside. Doesn't see big downside.
