Enbridge (NYSE:ENB) Issues Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Expectations By $0.03 EPS

Enbridge (NYSE:ENB) (TSE:ENB) released its quarterly earnings results on Friday. The pipeline company reported $0.39 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $0.36 by $0.03, Zacks reports. The business had revenue of $21.08 billion during the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $9.62 billion. Enbridge had a return on equity of 11.17% and a net margin of 7.20%.

Here are the key takeaways from Enbridge’s conference call:

• Enbridge reaffirmed its 2026 guidance and expects results near the midpoint, marking the 21st consecutive year it expects to meet guidance. Adjusted EBITDA rose CAD 167 million year over year, supported by strength across its businesses.
• The company cited a CAD 38 billion secured growth backlog and rising demand for energy infrastructure, particularly natural gas for power generation and LNG. Recent project milestones include Aspen Point and Tennessee Ridgeline entering service, with further pipeline and utility opportunities under development.
• Enbridge announced the Tallgrass crude transportation and Salt Creek gathering acquisitions and completed a CAD 3 billion equity offering to help fund transactions and preserve capacity for organic growth. Reported debt-to-EBITDA was 5.1x at quarter-end due to foreign-exchange movements; management said adjusted leverage remained within its target range.
• Liquids results faced lower Line 9 tolls and reduced Flanagan South throughput, while higher financing costs partly offset DCF growth. Management said its outlook continues to reflect lower liquids market-access contributions and higher U.S. interest rates.
• CEO Greg Ebel plans to retire at year-end, with Michele Harradence set to become CEO on January 1. Harradence emphasized continuity in Enbridge’s capital discipline, operating priorities, and diversified energy strategy.
