CEO COMMENT
Commenting on the Company’s outlook, Greg Ebel, President and CEO of Enbridge, noted the following:
“I’m pleased to announce Enbridge’s 2026 financial guidance. We are forecasting another year of steady and predictable growth driven by new projects entering service, as well as strong utilization and optimization of existing assets.
“Next year, Enbridge expects to generate Adjusted EBITDA between $20.2 and $20.8 billion and DCF per share between $5.70 and $6.10 per share, which represents a 4% increase from the respective midpoints of our 2025 guidance. We have approximately $8 billion of new projects entering service in 2026 across our franchises, all of which are underpinned by low-risk commercial frameworks. We also expect strong growth in 2026 from recent rate settlements and rate cases in both Gas Distribution and Gas Transmission. These regulatory outcomes support visible, durable growth through rate escalation and quick-cycle capital recovery mechanisms.
“We also announced a 3% increase to our common share dividend for 2026, representing our 31st consecutive annual increase. This increase reinforces our dividend aristocrat status, is underpinned by our growing cash flows and supports Enbridge’s first-choice investment proposition.”

Consistent with the past, the Company has mitigated against cash flow volatility by substantially hedging its budgeted 2026 USD DCF exposure.
DCF per share guidance reflects interest expense on higher principal debt balances. Enbridge will continue to actively manage this exposure through its hedging program and enters 2026 with less than 15% of the debt portfolio exposed to interest rate variability.
Dividend Increase
Enbridge announces that the quarterly common share dividend for 2026 will be increased by 3% from $0.9425 to $0.97 per common share, commencing with the dividend payable on March 1, 2026, to shareholders of record on February 17, 2026.
Capital Investments and Financing Plan
Enbridge expects to deploy approximately $10 billion of growth capital in 2026, exclusive of maintenance capital. We expect the balance sheet to remain strong with the debt-to-EBITDA ratio* at the end of 2026 expected to be within the Company’s 4.5-5.0x target range. The financing plan includes approximately $10 billion of debt issuances in 2026 which is substantially earmarked for the refinancing of $5 billion of debt maturities, with no external equity required. The Company has hedged a portion of its anticipated fixed-rate term-debt issuances for 2026.
Growth Outlook
This guidance aligns with the company’s 2023 to 2026, near-term growth outlook of 7-9% for EBITDA* growth, 4-6% for EPS growth and approximately 3% for DCF per share* growth. Post 2026, Enbridge expects adjusted EBITDA, EPS and DCF per share to grow by approximately 5% annually.
