Companies in the news:
Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB). Energy. Up 25 cents, or 0.47 per cent, to $53.43. Enbridge Inc.’s successful negotiation of a tolling deal for its Mainline pipeline system will help protect the company against significant volume losses once the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion opens, analysts say. The Calgary-based pipeline giant has been trying to reach a deal with oil shippers on a new tolling agreement since November 2021, when Enbridge’s proposal to fill the Mainline network through long-term contracts was rejected by the Canada Energy Regulator. Enbridge reported a first-quarter profit of $1.7 billion on Friday, down from $1.9 billion a year ago.
Hydro One Ltd. (TSX:H). Utilities. Down 36 cents, or 0.90 per cent, to $39.59. Hydro One Ltd. reported its first-quarter profit fell compared with a year ago due higher operation, maintenance and administrative costs, offset in part by higher revenues. The power utility said it earned $282 million or 47 cents per diluted share for the quarter ended March 31. The result compared with a profit of $310 million or 52 cents per diluted share a year earlier.
Air Canada. (TSX:AC). Transportation. Up $2.12, or 11.56 per cent, to $20.46. Air Canada hiked its earnings outlook Thursday evening, saying it expects earnings to rise due to an improvement in traffic as well as stronger-than-anticipated demand and lower-than-expected fuel prices. The Montreal-based airline said adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization in 2023 are expected to come in between $3.5 billion and $4 billion, up from between the guidance of $2.5 billion and $3 billion released Feb. 17.
