Kinder Morgan, Inc. (US49456B1017) closed at $32.35 on August 17, 2026, after a second-quarter 2026 report that showed EPS of $0.37 on revenue of $4.48 billion, while the quarterly dividend of $0.2975 per share was paid on August 17, 2026.
Quarterly numbers
The latest quarter topped estimates on both lines: EPS came in $0.06 above the $0.31 consensus, and revenue beat the $4.22 billion view by $260 million. Revenue also rose 10.8% from the same quarter a year earlier, when EPS was $0.28.
That mix matters for a pipeline operator because the market tends to reward visible cash generation more than headline growth. Kinder Morgan also set FY 2026 guidance at $1.36 per share, while sell-side forecasts in the same reporting set pointed to $1.55 per share for the current fiscal year.
Dividend and valuation
The stock's market capitalization was listed at $71.99 billion, and the most recent quote showed a $32.35 close with a 1.43% daily decline on August 17, 2026. The same market snapshot put the shares near an average price target of $35.50 and a consensus Hold stance.
For investors, the comparison is straightforward: the stock traded below that $35.50 average target, while the quarterly result still showed a 10.8% revenue increase and a $0.06 EPS beat. The dividend, annualized at $1.19 per share, adds a 3.6% yield in the same snapshot.
Western Gateway
Kinder Morgan helped finalize the Western Gateway Pipeline System joint venture with Phillips 66 and HF Sinclair, a $5 billion pipeline project that moves the company deeper into long-dated North American energy infrastructure. The project adds a concrete capital-allocation angle to a quarter already defined by a $4.48 billion revenue base.
Price and trading
Kinder Morgan stock traded at $32.35 as of August 17, 2026, with the market snapshot also showing a market capitalization of $71.99 billion and a 1.43% daily decline.
