Estimate Trend

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its second-quarter earnings per share of 56 cents has witnessed no revisions in the past 30 days. The figure suggests growth of 1.8% from the year-ago reported number.

Factors to Consider

In the June quarter, Enbridge is likely to have generated stable fee-based revenues as it is a leading midstream player in North America. It has a vast pipeline network responsible for transporting roughly 30% of the crude oil produced in the continent. With a favorable crude pricing scenario, exploration and production activities probably ramped up in the second quarter. Thus, higher production is likely to have driven demand for ENB’s oil pipeline.
