Revenue

Enbridge's total revenue surged by 31.2% to reach $14.88 billion in Q2 2025, up from $11.34 billion in Q2 2024. This impressive growth was largely driven by strong contributions from U.S. gas utilities and favorable rate settlements, reflecting the company's strategic focus on expanding its energy infrastructure.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review

The strategy of purchasing Enbridge shares after quarterly revenue increases and holding them for 30 days showed moderate returns but underperformed the benchmark significantly. Despite a low-risk profile indicated by a maximum drawdown of 0.00% and a Sharpe ratio of 0.10, the strategy's CAGR of 2.06% lagged behind the benchmark by 38.48%. Additionally, the strategy experienced 20.79% volatility, highlighting considerable price fluctuations. Although the approach suggested a stable risk profile, the substantial volatility underscored the challenges in maintaining consistent returns relative to the benchmark.

He emphasized the company's capacity to support growing energy demand and reinforced confidence in achieving the upper end of the EBITDA guidance range, reflecting a positive outlook for sustained growth and operational effectiveness.
