RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Acquisition

[Quintessential1]

All good points and reasons for buying and the 500 acres of land that they plan to add 60 MW of solar power to which is more than the terminal requires to run and sell the excess power to the surounding businesses ius the cherry on top.  Increasing their profit and lowering their carbon footprint is the kind of planning that makes ENB more attractive to investors than SU with their poorly concieved  ESG and will help them to be sustainable into the future.

Go Enbridge! ;-)

• Immediately and strongly accretive to EBITDA, DCF/share and Earnings/share
• Pro forma 2022 leverage expected to be at lower end of target leverage range
• Sizeable tax pool step up extends cash tax horizon
• Transaction is expected to close in Q4 2021

Allow me go out on a limb to speculate how this will affect the dividend.

1. Total consideration $3B
2. Interest rate (based on the annual report 2020) could less than 5% for the financial expense. ($150M)
3. Guess 10% on the investment return ($300M)
4. Gross profit $150M
5. $0.01/quarter.

I would raise my expectation of dividend increase from $0.04 to $0.05.

Good luck to all.

There is no love story in Canada between current fed gov and the industry. I think it's about time ENB increases their US footprint operations and realistically take a good look south of the border to find a tax friendly state for headquarters. A company of ENB magnitude should be appreciated, not put against the wall every chance possible. If they were to move to the US ... they can negociate huge of tax breaks at state level.

Enbridge is in the business of deliverying energy, green or black. The black (hydrocarbon) business will not fade away in next decade. Pipelines that deliver oil can also be converted to NG. Yes it has to get the authority's approval but who will DARE to refuse to give up oil (the evil) to NG (the greener).

Enbridge's delivering within North America is fairy stabile for the current business. But the arising business is LNG export. To control the end to end delivery, owning port is a must. This is to build a deeper mode.

I would see Enbridge could acquire more terminal in North America and off-shore.

lol...when we last discussed shareprice increase...and you mentioned divi increase, thinking this acquistion was not in the cards.....therefore....fair game if you wished to revise your earlier..divi/shareprice increase....lol......nice to have those kind of problems....lol
