Morgan Stanley: I Was Overly Critical But Valuation Worries Are Real (Rating Upgrade)
Jade Biosciences, Inc. (JBIO) Presents at 44th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference Transcript
Kinder Morgan sits at the center of two powerful trends: rising U.S. natural gas demand (data centers, reshoring) and expanding LNG exports, with ~90% of revenues insulated from commodity prices. The business is delivering, but the stock is not: EBITDA and cash flows are growing, leverage is under control, yet valuation multiples already reflect stability rather than acceleration. This earnings report matters less for Q4 and more for 2026: guidance, project execution, and leverage discipline will determine whether KMI stays range-bound or earns a re-rating.
Kinder Morgan is upgraded to buy, capitalizing on surging natural gas demand driven by AI and data center growth. KMI boasts a $9.3B project backlog, with 90% focused on natural gas and major initiatives targeting data center power needs. Valuation is slightly premium but justified by C-Corp structure, geographic advantage, and strong take-or-pay contract base.
