Why is Enbridge, Inc. (ENB) stock moving?
ENB peaked at $49.46 on Oct 30 and slid to $46.89 on Nov 6, the day it reported Q3 results on 10.5M shares, roughly double the recent average. Results were mixed: adjusted EBITDA of $4.4B and DCF of $2.7B were solid, 2026 guidance was reaffirmed, and over $3B of gas transmission projects were placed into service. Against that, Benzinga reported adjusted EPS of $0.35 versus a $0.36 estimate, and the $3.0B equity offering that funded the Tallgrass and Salt Creek acquisitions adds dilution. The stock has since stabilized, closing at $47.76 on Nov 10 after a low of $46.375 on Nov 6. The dividend of $0.97 is payable Dec 1, and a Buy rating with a $59.51 target was reaffirmed on Nov 9. The Pathways CO2 pipeline interest is an early-stage option rather than a booked contract. Overall, the evidence supports a neutral near term with a constructive medium-term view, pending evidence that the acquisitions lift earnings.

About Enbridge, Inc
Enbridge is a Calgary-based energy infrastructure company that runs one of North America's largest networks of crude oil and natural gas pipelines. It also owns big gas utilities in Canada and the US, plus some renewable power assets. It's known for its long record of dividend growth: 2026 was its 31st straight annual increase.
How it makes money
Most of its earnings come from fees for moving crude oil and liquids (roughly half of core earnings, mainly on the Mainline system that carries Western Canadian oil to the US) and natural gas (roughly a quarter) through long-term contracts and regulated tolls. Regulated gas distribution and storage utilities in Ontario, Ohio, Utah and North Carolina bring in roughly another fifth, with a small share from renewable power. Because so much of this revenue is fee-based, it depends less on commodity prices. Results are reported in Canadian dollars.
