Recently, Zacks.com users have been paying close attention to Kinder Morgan (KMI). This makes it worthwhile to examine what the stock has in store.

In the most recent trading session, Kinder Morgan (KMI) closed at $31.6, indicating a -1.16% shift from the previous trading day.

Two natural gas pipeline giants are sending steady dividend checks to shareholders, but a closer look at growth rates, payout coverage, and streak length separates a C+ performer from an A- contender in the same sector.

As noted last week, midstream MLPs and corporations broadly raised full-year financial guidance following a strong second quarter. Looking ahead, the sector's growth runway is accelerating.

Natural gas is projected to supply 40% of U.S. electricity through 2027, putting Kinder Morgan and Williams in focus as data-center and LNG demand rises.

Enbridge (ENB) and Kinder Morgan (KMI) both benefit from strong macro tailwinds in natural gas infrastructure, AI-driven energy demand, and LNG exports. I compare them side-by-side, detailing their strengths, weaknesses, growth outlooks, valuations, and risks. I share why I conclude that ENB is likely the better buy right now.

Midstream energy is quietly having a moment.

Kinder Morgan delivered record Q2 net income and adjusted EBITDA and raised 2026 guidance, yet shares remain 11% below their 52-week high. KMI benefits from surging U.S. natural gas demand, with a $9.6B backlog, 40% market share in gas transport, and robust contracted cash flows. The 3.8% dividend yield is covered over 2x by distributable cash flow, with leverage at 3.6x and self-funded growth supporting further dividend increases.

Midstream MLPs and corporations generally posted strong second-quarter earnings, benefiting from record volume throughput, strong margins, and robust demand for natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGL) exports. Companies also demonstrated the defensive nature of their fee-based cash flows.
