Monitor for updates on remediation of the material weakness in internal controls, expected to be substantially complete by Q2 2026. Q2 guidance for slightly higher normalized EBITDA suggests the core pipeline business remains stable despite Marketing volatility.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
South Bow's Q1 2026 results show slight year-over-year revenue and earnings declines, with revenue of $491M (down 1.4%), net income of $77M (down 12.5%), and normalized EBITDA of $257M (down 3.4%). The Keystone Pipeline segment performed well (revenue +10%), but Marketing segment revenue fell 40% and swung to a loss. Additionally, the company disclosed a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting due to a new ERP system implementation. Guidance for 2026 was reaffirmed, and the quarterly dividend remains unchanged at $0.50/share.

- 2026 normalized EBITDA guidance reaffirmed at ~$1.03B (within 2%)

Financial Impact

Risk Factors
- Material weakness may lead to financial restatement or SEC scrutiny

- Operating cost pressures from MP-171 incident and ongoing pipeline integrity work
- Net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 4.7x limits financial flexibility
