Summary

  • Preferred shares of Enbridge and other select Canadian utilities and infrastructure companies are expected to perform strongly over the next 6 to 12 months.
  • The Bank of Canada will likely cut interest rates for the first time on June 5th or July 24th, creating an opportunity to invest in fixed dividend preferred shares that could trigger FOMO.
  • After reset, dividends paid by preferred shares of Enbridge Inc., ENB.PR.Y:CA and ENB.PF.A:CA, will increase by 54% and 41.2%, respectively.
  • Select preferred shares of TransAlta, AltaGas, TC Energy, Pembina Pipelines, and Fortis are also due to reset their fixed dividends over the next six months, which would result in significantly higher dividends for the next 5 years.

I am a seasoned investor and financial journalist with over twenty years of experience in sell-side equity research, corporate and project finance, M&A and valuations, focusing on Canadian electric utilities, and infrastructure sectors. For ten years I worked as an equity research analyst at global banks including UniCredit Securities and HSBC Global Markets. As an analyst, I was top-rated by the Institutional Investor and Extel surveys. I was also responsible for strategic and economic analysis of capital markets. Before my investment banking career, I spent ten years in a Canadian corporate environment working on the development and finance of power projects and mergers and acquisitions. As an active investor, I believe in actionable ideas and the power of a good story and clear arguments. I am interested in sharing those stories and arguments with others, aiming to contribute towards a smarter and richer world.
