Enbridge Income Fund HoldingsENF.TOBUYJan 26, 2018Stock 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.
He sees the dividend as being sustainable. They can grow their Free Cash Flow per Share 9%, for 2017-2019. The company recently gave guidance they’ll continue to grow their dividend 10% per year, out to 2020. The concern here is the regulatory approval for the Line 3 replacement risk. He thinks that it goes forward. Feels this is a buying opportunity. Dividend yield of 7.8%.
