Enbridge280亿美元收购Spectra

Canada’s Enbridge said on Tuesday it would buy Spectra Energy Corp of Houston in an all-stock deal valued at about $28 billion (C$37 billion) to create the largest North American energy infrastructure company. The takeover highlights how pipeline companies are under pressure to merge as they grapple with overcapacity and sliding tariffs that have slowed dividend growth and unnerved investors. Enbridge’s biggest-ever deal will consolidate its leading position next to US transport giants Kinder Morgan and Plains All American Pipeline, which have seen their stock prices sink over the last two years as oil and gas producers slash spending on new wells.
