ENB Stock Recent News

Blue-chip dividend stocks are one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom. That is why I buy them aggressively whenever they go on sale. I share 2 blue-chip dividend stocks with attractive yields that are getting very cheap after their recent big dips.

I am upgrading Enbridge to Buy, driven by new Canadian pipeline projects and favorable political changes supporting infrastructure expansion. Global diversification of oil sales, especially to Asia and Europe, is set to boost Enbridge's profitability beyond current long-term growth targets. Lower interest rates in Canada and the US, prompted by trade tensions and tariffs, should enhance Enbridge's share valuation and investor appeal.

The combination of high volatilities and a few fundamental economic forces could lead to much higher oil prices in the near future. The OPEC+'s production decision, Iran situation, and also ongoing tariff disputes could keep oil price volatility elevated. The refilling of the SPR (strategic petroleum reserve) and persisting inflation both act as upward pressure on oil prices.

The dividend yield on the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is approaching a record low. It's currently around 1.2%, near its low point hit in 2000.

In the latest trading session, Enbridge (ENB) closed at $45.21, marking a +1.48% move from the previous day.

"Please fasten your seatbelts."

Enbridge remains a 'buy,' due to solid growth prospects, robust demand for energy, and a strong management growth plan, despite recent underperformance, versus the S&P 500. Recent financials show strong revenue and EBITDA growth, especially from Gas Distribution and Storage, boosted by acquisitions and rate increases. Management forecasts continued EBITDA and cash flow growth through 2026, supported by $28 billion in secured capital projects and substantial investment capacity.

Enbridge's robust DCF easily covers both common and preferred dividends, with preferred payouts requiring just 3% of pre-dividend DCF. The Series 11 preferred shares offer a 6.6% yield, fixed until 2030, providing an attractive risk/reward profile versus Canadian government bonds. A hybrid approach—owning both common and preferred shares—balances upside participation with stable, high-yield income.

Are dividend stocks only for investors nearing or in retirement? Not at all.
