ENB

Some investors have quietly built decades of rising income by owning stocks most people have never heard of, and five Dividend Champions with yields stretching past 7% are now drawing serious attention from Wall Street analysts.

ENB partners with KKR and Apollo to fund Westcoast pipeline expansions, boosting financial flexibility while retaining control.

Enbridge Inc. (ENB) offers a 5.56% dividend yield, stable cash flows, and bond-like reliability, making it attractive for income-focused, risk-averse investors. ENB's diversified North American footprint and CAD$41 billion capital program through 2029 support steady long-term growth and inflation protection. The company's volume-based contracts with inflation escalators insulate cash flows from commodity price swings, but limit upside during oil price surges.

ENB's $600M Salt Creek deal expands its Delaware Basin footprint, adding contracted cash flows and strengthening its integrated crude pipeline network.

Enbridge has partnered with private equity companies KKR and Apollo Global Management to fund a 2.7 billion Canadian dollar, or $1.95 billion, expansion of its natural gas pipeline system in British Columbia.

Canadian energy company Enbridge said on ​Thursday it had agreed to form ‌a joint venture with KKR and Apollo to invest about C$2.7 billion in ​expansions of its Westcoast natural ​gas pipeline system in British Columbia.

Enbridge (ENB) and Kinder Morgan (KMI) both benefit from strong macro tailwinds in natural gas infrastructure, AI-driven energy demand, and LNG exports. I compare them side-by-side, detailing their strengths, weaknesses, growth outlooks, valuations, and risks. I share why I conclude that ENB is likely the better buy right now.

C$2.7 billion transaction led by KKR in collaboration with Apollo to fund Aspen Point and Sunrise Expansion Programs CALGARY, AB, Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Enbridge Inc. ("Enbridge") (TSX: ENB) (NYSE: ENB) announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement with KKR to form a new joint venture, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, led by capital accounts advised by KKR, in collaboration with funds and affiliates managed by Apollo. The joint venture will fund the previously sanctioned Aspen Point and Sunrise Expansion Programs (collectively, "the Expansions") of the Westcoast natural gas pipeline system.

ExxonMobil is better positioned than Enbridge amid heightened oil price volatility due to geopolitical risks, notably disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. I see a higher-for-longer oil price scenario when these disruptions are combined with the structural oil supply-demand tension. Both U.S. oil stock and the U.S. strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) are currently among decade lows.
