Estimate Trend of ENB
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share of 36 cents has witnessed one downward and no upward revisions in the past seven days. The estimated figure suggests an improvement of 9.1% from the prior-year reported figure.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues of $10.32 billion indicates a 2.9% decline from the year-ago recorded figure.
Factors to Consider for ENB
As a leading North American energy infrastructure company, Enbridge connects approximately 75% of the continent’s refining capacity, transports about 20% of the natural gas consumed in the United States and serves about 7.2 million utility customers across Canada and the United States.
Backed by long-term contracts and low exposure to commodity price volatility, the company's low-risk business model is expected to deliver stable earnings for the to be-reported quarter.
Despite the stable nature of its business model, ENB’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter is expected to have been affected by higher financing costs, which likely weighed on its overall profitability and dampened Enbridge’s quarterly performance.
