Kinder Morgan stock steadies as analysts trim Q3 EPS
Published on 08/22/2026 at 11:00 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Kinder Morgan stock is holding near $31 after US Capital Advisors lifted its Q3 2026 EPS forecast to $0.31 from $0.30, while the latest quarter delivered $0.37 per share and $4.48 billion in revenue. The stock opened at $31.66 on August 21, 2026, and the company paid a $0.2975 quarterly dividend on August 17, 2026.
Forecasts and the last report
The new estimate sits alongside a broader 2026 consensus of $1.55 per share and a MarketBeat average target price of $35.50, both based on current analyst data. Kinder Morgan's most recent quarterly results on July 22, 2026 beat the $0.31 EPS consensus by $0.06 and topped the $4.22 billion revenue estimate by $260 million.
That comparison matters because revenue rose 10.8% year over year to $4.48 billion, while net margin reached 19.31% and return on equity was 10.46%. The company also set FY 2026 guidance at $1.36 EPS, which leaves the current consensus above the guided range.
Dividend and valuation
The dividend remains a second anchor for the name. Kinder Morgan's annualized payout is $1.19 per share, the yield is 3.76%, and the payout ratio stands at 76.28%.
On valuation, the stock changed hands near its 52-week range of $25.60 to $34.81, with a 50-day average of $32.05 and a 200-day average of $32.32. Those levels put the shares slightly below both moving averages and still inside the upper half of the 12-month band.
What the business sells
Kinder Morgan's network moves natural gas, natural gas liquids, crude oil, refined products and carbon dioxide through pipelines, storage sites and terminals across North America. That mix ties the stock to volumes, tariff stability and the pace of energy infrastructure spending rather than to commodity prices alone.
Price check
Kinder Morgan shares opened at $31.66 on August 21, 2026, after a close at $31.66 and a market value of $70.50 billion. The stock was still below its 52-week high of $34.81 as investors weighed the $4.48 billion quarter against the $1.36 EPS guidance.
