Enbridge Income Fund HoldingsENF.TOCOMMENTDec 13, 2017Stock 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.
Doesn't own this, but does own Enbridge (ENB-T). The company was very smart reorganizing into 2 structures. Lately they’ve done a lot to shore up the capital structure of both. If buying for yield, this has a slight advantage, but Enbridge (ENB-T) has reiterated that they intend to grow their dividend by about 10% over the next few years. They keep adding assets that are adding more cash flow. All the pipeline companies look somewhat expensive, and all go through the cycle of issuing equity to invest in capital expenditures, which adds to debt. Once those report cash flows, you are into the same cycle again. Prefers Enbridge (ENB-T) and taking the slight discount, but really doesn't have a problem with this one.
