In Q3 2026, the portfolio underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index. On a positive note, our stock selection in the health care sector led to significant outperformance relative to those in the benchmark. Numerous portfolio moves were made during the quarter, but our focus remained on our three main investment themes: electrification, financials and aerospace and defense.

Williams' Q3 earnings miss estimates as costs jump 15%, even as revenues and EBITDA rise. Its $5.5B Momentum deal and new pipelines underpin expansion.

Williams expects one or two more power deals by year-end, potentially with longer contracts, as financing, permits and earnings timing draw scrutiny.

The Williams Companies delivered solid Q3 2026 results, with revenue up 10.26% and net income up 8.2% year-over-year. WMB's growth is driven by increased natural gas volumes, new infrastructure projects, and a strategic push into modular gas-fired power generation for data centers. The $5.5B Momentum Midstream acquisition expands WMB's Haynesville Shale footprint, positioning it for further volume and cash flow growth.

Williams Companies NYSE: WMB reported record third-quarter results as the pipeline operator advanced expansion projects, completed its Momentum Midstream acquisition ahead of schedule and prepared to bring the second phase of its Socrates power project online.
