ENBRIDGE INC. $46 – Toronto symbol ENB

ENBRIDGE INC. $46 (Toronto symbol ENB; Conservative Growth Portfolio, Utilities sector; Shares outstanding: 806.5 million; Market cap: $37.1 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 1.4; Dividend yield: 2.7%; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; www.enbridge.com) has agreed to build a 50-kilometre pipeline that will connect the Hangingstone oil sands project in Alberta to its existing pipeline system. This will be the ninth oil sands project to use this network.

The company will spend $200 million to build this pipeline. That’s equal to 16% of the $1.25 billion, or $1.62 a share, that Enbridge earned in 2012. The new line should begin operating in late 2015. Enbridge also has a 25-year shipping contract with Hangingstone’s developer, which cuts the risk of this investment.

Enbridge is a buy.
