ENBRIDGE INC. $52 – Toronto symbol ENB

ENBRIDGE INC. $52 (Toronto symbol ENB; Conservative Growth and Income Portfolios, Utilities sector; Shares outstanding: 834.8 million; Market cap: $43.4 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 1.2; Dividend yield: 2.7%; TSINetwork Rating: Above Average; www.enbridge.com) had hoped to complete its new Flanagan South pipeline in the third quarter of 2014, but the company now says it will start up in the fourth quarter.

Flanagan South will connect Enbridge’s main oil-export pipeline in Illinois with storage facilities in Cushing, Oklahoma. From there, the company will pump the oil to refineries in Texas. The new line will let Enbridge transport up to 775,000 barrels a day on this route, up from just 175,000 on its existing Spearhead line.

Demand for this extra capacity should be strong, because it will let oil producers ship more of their crude from Western Canada and North Dakota’s Bakken area to the U.S. Gulf Coast.

Enbridge is a buy.
