Jim Cramer Says Enbridge Inc. (ENB) Is a Must-Have Gas Utility Giant

We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Commented on These 6 Natural Gas Players. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.

On Tuesday’s episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer weighed in on the recent rally in the natural gas sector and highlighted several companies that, in his view, are well-positioned to benefit from the current environment.

“Alright, lately, we’ve seen this really major rebound in the price of natural gas. It’s up roughly 27% from its lows in under three weeks.”

Cramer said that prices have essentially returned to the levels seen in early January, before concerns over the administration’s now mostly reversed tariff agenda disrupted the market. He explained that the rebound is largely in line with what he expected following President Donald Trump’s election. He contrasted natural gas with oil and noted that Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” mantra would have led to increased drilling, which typically drives oil prices down, but natural gas operates under very different constraints.

He emphasized that natural gas is heavily influenced by federal policy, especially when it comes to exports. According to Cramer, global demand for American natural gas is strong, but meeting that demand requires liquefied natural gas terminals, which cannot be built without regulatory approval. He mentioned that the Biden administration took a less favorable stance on fossil fuel development, while Trump has shown a willingness to approve new pipelines and LNG export infrastructure.

“So here’s the bottom line: In this exciting sector with the natural gas trade coming alive again, I like EQT for production, ONEOK and Enbridge for pipelines and distribution, and the OG Cheniere Energy as a pure play on liquified natural gas exports. I think they very much work here with a fossil-friendly White House.”

Enbridge Inc. (NYSE:ENB) was mentioned during the episode, and here’s what Cramer had to say:

“What else? You know I’m a big fan of Enbridge, the Canadian pipeline colossus. Although their network also has lots of crude oil exposure, still, I think Enbridge belongs in any shortlist of natural gas plays because they operate the continent’s largest natural gas utility by volume. These guys were always big in Canada, they run the main gas utility in Toronto.

But last year, they bought three American utilities in Utah, Ohio, and North Carolina, respectively, from Dominion Energy, and that’s created North America’s largest natural gas utility. Now, despite a solid 5% gain so far this year and a nearly 18% gain over the past 12 months, the stock’s pretty still cheap, trading just over 20 times this year’s earnings estimates, get this, supports a juicy 6% yield. What is not to like about Enbridge?”

Enbridge (NYSE:ENB) is an energy infrastructure company in North America. The company operates pipelines, natural gas systems, renewable power assets, and provides commodity marketing and logistics services.
