"I think there is evidence out there that for the right transaction for the right reasons, investors will show up," said François Carrier, co-head of Desjardins Capital Markets. But not many dealmakers are expecting a rush of supply with an uncertain macroeconomic environment still keeping secondary equity markets volatile. The shares dropped well below their first-day high, potentially limiting a comeback in Canadian equity capital raisings and IPOs. "We do not have enough data to declare the IPO market open. Our own view is that we are still 12 to 18 months away from a robust IPO market," he added.

The deal is seen as a bet on the future of natural gas in a regulated market even as energy companies and consumers are transitioning to a greener future by phasing out fossil fuels. But some analysts were surprised at the timing, the scale and impact such a deal would have on the company's already leveraged balance sheet. Enbridge struck the deal just over a month after CEO Greg Ebel told analysts the company saw 'tuck-in' acquisition opportunities 'across the board'. By late morning, Enbridge shares were down 5.5% at C$45.50, while the benchmark Canadian share index was off 0.5%. Enbridge is selling new shares at a discount of 7.2% to its Tuesday close to part-fund the transaction.

Analysts, however, were surprised at the timing, the scale and impact such a deal would have on the company's already leveraged balance sheet. "I don't see how you can keep piling more issuance - debt and equity - on this company at these rates. Enbridge shares provisionally closed down 5.9% at C$45.31, while the benchmark Canadian share index was off 0.9%. "While Enbridge paid a reasonable price, high leverage and funding gap could act as overhang," Wells Fargo analysts said in a note.

REUTERS/Chris Helgren Acquire Licensing RightsSept 5 (Reuters) - Enbridge (ENB.TO) will buy three utilities from Dominion Energy (D.N) for $14 billion including debt, the Canadian pipeline operator said on Tuesday, creating North America's largest natural gas provider and doubling its gas distribution business. The deals for East Ohio Gas, Questar Gas, and Public Service Co of North Carolina will consist of $9.4 billion in cash and $4.6 billion of assumed debt. U.S.-listed shares of Enbridge fell 6.5% to $33.01 in extended trading after the company also announced a C$4 billion ($2.9 billion) bought-share sale to fund a portion of the deal. The modest improvement in Enbridge's business risk profile is not enough to "offset ongoing pressure on the company's financial profile," said Gavin MacFarlane, vice president and senior credit officer at Moody's, in a statement.

REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/IllustrationAug 4 (Reuters) - Canadian pipeline operator Enbridge Inc (ENB.TO) reported higher second-quarter profit on Friday due to increased oil volumes, and said it was not considering splitting its business. "I just don't see (a split) today for a company of our breadth, size and diversity, and frankly low risk diversification." The Mainline earned C$1.45 billion ($1.09 billion) in the quarter, up 19% from last year. The company reaffirmed its 2023 core earnings guidance and posted adjusted earnings of 68 Canadian cents, in line with analysts' average expectations, according to Refinitiv data. Enbridge reported net income of C$1.8 billion, or 91 Canadian cents per share, for the quarter, compared with C$450 million or 22 Canadian cents per share in the same period of last year.

May 4 (Reuters) - Canada's Enbridge Inc (ENB.TO) said on Thursday it has reached a 7-1/2-year toll agreement with oil shippers for its Mainline crude pipeline system, one of North America's biggest, after scrapping earlier plans for long-term contracts. The agreement means that, if approved, Enbridge would continue to ration space on a monthly basis. Enbridge spent years trying to convince shippers and then the Canada Energy Regulator (CER) to sell space on the Mainline under long-term contracts. Some Canadian oil producers objected, while companies with refineries were in favor of contracts. The new agreement covers 70% of Mainline deliveries, with the remaining 30% covered by a pre-existing agreement.

SummarySummary Companies Plant to supply 1.2-1.4 mln tonnes of ammonia per yearYara attracted by low US gas prices, carbon capture costProduction start up set for 2027-28OSLO, March 31 (Reuters) - Norwegian fertiliser maker Yara (YAR.OL) and Canadian pipeline company Enbridge (ENB.TO) plan to invest up to $2.9 billion to build a low-carbon blue ammonia production plant in Texas, they said on Friday. Blue ammonia, rather than green ammonia derived from renewable energy, refers to ammonia produced from natural gas, with the carbon dioxide (CO2) byproduct captured and stored. The plant will supply 1.2 million to 1.4 million tonnes of low-carbon ammonia per year. High gas prices in Europe have made the case to build in the U.S. stronger, Ankarstrand said. Many similar facilities are in development and demand for low-carbon ammonia looks strong, said Vince Paradis, Enbridge's vice president of business development.

☆ Oil and gas companies are investing billions to make energy from waste but some climate groups call it greenwashing

Canadian gas company Enbridge pledged up to $1 billion to a US firm turning food waste into energy. Oil and gas companies see a green opportunity from food waste like rotting spinach but some climate advocates say it's more like greenwashing. The company's software tracks retailers' food waste and Divert then recovers what can be donated to food banks. The plan is to build 30 plants, enough to manage 5% of US food waste; Divert now handles about a half percent. Making gas from waste can avoid greenhouse gas emissions that seep out of landfills.
