Enbridge Income Fund HoldingsENF.TOCOMMENTSep 22, 2014Stock price when the opinion was issued
As of Nov 10, 2018. Market Open.
Enbridge wants to buy ENF to simplify their corporate structure. In the States, Enbridge offered a small premium, while in Canada, they offered a premium. He suspects the directors of ENF-T are waiting for a higher premium (or that's what he would do). Pays a higher yield than Enbridge Inc. but lacks the dividend growth potential.
Just acquired $1.7 billion from Enbridge (ENB-T), so they are going to have to raise money. His guess is that there will be some common and preferred shares coming out. One of the great things for a company like this is that the cost of making acquisitions is at an all-time low, because there is so much money available from institutional investors who are seeking yield. Feels the deal is probably constructive for holders. A solid income producer.
