79% Informative

Pipeline and energy infrastructure giant Kinder Morgan ( KMI ) soared 55% in 2024 , in lockstep with a rebound across the oil and gas midstream industry.

The company generated lower free cash flow ( FCF ) in 2024 compared to 2023 , but was still able to fund its entire dividend expense with FCF despite a 13.5% increase in capital expenditures.

For 2025 , Kinder Morgan forecasts $2.8 billion in net income and adjusted EPS of $ 1.27 , a 10% increase.

Given Kinder Morgan's poor track record of managing leverage, it's encouraging to see the company continue to prioritize financial health and not overspend.

The stock has a price-to-earnings ratio of 24.2 based on the share price at the time of this writing and 2025 adjusted EPS guidance of $ 1.27 .

Kinder Morgan is a decent but not screaming buy now.
