Is PPL DRIP eligible?
I have seen conflicting information in different places...
Here it says it is: https://www.rbcdirectinvesting.com/drip-list.html
But here it says that it was suspended on March 7, 2017: https://www.pembina.com/investors/stock-dividend/

I would go buy the Pembina website and say no it's still suspended.

Thanks for your response. Weird that it says different things in different places. Are you receiving a drip discount too? On the following site it says at one point they were offering a 5% discount - perhaps it was only the discount that was discontinued. https://www.dripprimer.ca/canadiandriplist

I don't think there's any discount. DRIP price is an average of closing price in previous 30 days(?)

Hi greenionions89. The PPL drip is still suspended. Some investment houses like RBC offer a drip service where the bank automatically converts your dividend into shares. They don't charge a fee for this and there is no discount offered.

Great, thanks! That makes sense.
