Enbridge (ENB) to Divest Noverco Stake for C$1.14 Billion
Read MoreHide Full Article
Enbridge Inc. (ENB - Free Report) recently agreed to divest its non-operating minority stake in Noverco Inc. through a subsidiary to Trencap L.P.
The divestment is expected to bring a whopping C$1.14 billion (around $943 million) in cash for Enbridge. Importantly, the transaction amount denotes a 29X valuation of GAAP earnings of $39 million in 2020.
The Calgary, Canada-based company owns a 38.9% interest in Noverco, which is part of the gas and power distribution business, while the remaining is held by Trencap. The deal is expected to be closed in the beginning of the next year, following which Trencap will be the sole owner of Noverco, which primarily operates in Quebec and Vermont.
Enbridge intends to use the cash proceeds from the sale to repay short-term debt. At the end of first-quarter 2021, the company reported a long-term debt of C$62,688 million, and cash and cash equivalents of only C$465 million. The current portion of long-term debt was C$4,014 million.
Enbridge — which generated a profit of C$646 million from the gas distribution and storage business in first-quarter 2021 — has plans to keep debt levels at 4.5-5X of EBITDA as well as boost dividends. Moreover, the company estimates $10-billion growth capital projects to be placed into service in 2021. From 2021 to 2023, the midstream player expects $17 billion in growth capital projects to be executed, which will likely drive 4-5% distributable cash flow per share growth through 2023.
Price Performance
Enbridge’s shares have gained 16.5% in the past year compared with 17.9% growth of the industry it belongs to.
Earthstone’s sales for 2021 are expected to jump 87.7% year over year.
Pembina Pipeline’s bottom line for 2021 is expected to rise 37.4% year over year.
PHX Minerals’ bottom line for 2021 is expected to surge 140% year over year.

It could become the mother of all technological revolutions. Apple sold a mere 1 billion iPhones in 10 years but a new breakthrough is expected to generate more than 77 billion devices by 2025, creating a $1.3 trillion market.
