Enbridge Income Fund HoldingsENF.TOCOMMENTApr 16, 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.
She owns the parent of Enbridge, instead. The overhang is final approval from Minnesota for Enbridge's U.S.-Canada pipeline; this approval should come by June. Management is confident that the approval will come, which could lift this stock. A plus: fears of interest rate hikes and their effect on interest-sensitive stocks have moderated since the winter. Overall, we need pipelines out west and the Trans Mountain outcome will be important.
