ENB Stock Rallies as Q2 Earnings Loom, Energy Demand Surges—July 9

Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) is trading near all-time highs as the Calgary-based energy infrastructure company heads into Q2 2026 earnings on July 31. The stock has surged 28.9% over the past year, driven by record demand for North American oil and gas from LNG facilities and data centres. With a Meyka grade of B+ and a 3-year price forecast of C$104.12, the company is positioned to benefit from what its CEO calls the best growth opportunities in 10 to 15 years.

Why energy demand is surging for Enbridge

Global demand for North American natural gas and oil is accelerating from two major sources: LNG export facilities shipping to Asia and Europe, and data centres requiring massive amounts of power for AI infrastructure. Enbridge operates pipelines and storage facilities that connect Canadian and U.S. oil and gas reserves to these customers. The company’s landlord-like business model locks in revenue through 10 to 20 year contracts, insulating it from short-term price swings. CEO Gregory Lorne Ebel recently stated it’s “game on” for growth, citing the strongest opportunities he has seen in over a decade.

Stock valuation shows mixed signals heading into earnings

Enbridge trades at a P/E ratio of 28.91, above the Canadian oil and gas industry average of 23.2x, signalling the market is pricing in growth. Meyka’s DCF model suggests the stock trades below fair value on a cash flow basis, but the elevated P/E ratio creates modest valuation risk. The company’s dividend yield stands at 4.9%, with trailing twelve-month earnings of C$2.70 per share. Cash flow resilience remains the key focus as analysts weigh the company’s ability to sustain growth.

Five-year track record shows strong fundamentals

Over the past five years, Enbridge has delivered a 164% total return, including dividends. The stock rose 109% in price while the company increased its dividend by 3.1% annually. In the trailing twelve months, revenue grew 13% and earnings rose 9%. Over three years, earnings compounded at a 35% CAGR, though this follows a period of minimal growth. Long-term growth is expected to moderate to around 4.5% annually, in line with historical trends over the past decade.

Technical picture and Meyka outlook

The RSI at 52.03 shows neutral momentum, while the ADX at 13.74 signals no clear trend. Meyka rates ENB a B+ with a neutral recommendation, citing strong DCF and ROE scores offset by elevated debt and P/E ratios. The 3-year price target is C$104.12, implying 33% upside from current levels near C$78. Analyst consensus is split evenly between buy and hold ratings, reflecting uncertainty over whether current valuations are justified by earnings growth.

Final Thoughts

Enbridge is well-positioned for growth as energy demand surges, but the elevated P/E ratio leaves limited margin for error. With Q2 earnings due July 31 and Meyka’s B+ grade pointing to solid fundamentals, the stock offers income and growth potential for patient investors.
