Investing.com -- Barclays upgraded Kinder Morgan Inc (NYSE:KMI) to Overweight on structural tailwinds in natural gas demand and the company's strong infrastructure position.
“We view KMI as poised to benefit from a constructive fundamental outlook for natural gas, with critical infrastructure assets largely backed by take-or-pay/fee-based contracts across multiple commodity value chains and regions,” analyst at Barclays said.
The firm raised its price target to $31, highlighting KMI’s key role in LNG feedgas supply and broader natural gas infrastructure expansion.
The bank noted that Kinder Morgan has lagged peers in 2025 despite its stable fee-based business model and recent commercial progress.
Barclays expects the valuation gap between Kinder Morgan and competitors like Williams Companies (NYSE:WMB) to narrow as Kinder Morgan benefits from rising power and industrial gas demand, exports to Mexico, and LNG growth.
Kinder Morgan has sanctioned over 5 billion cubic feet per day of new natural gas infrastructure projects, including Trident (NSE:TRIE), positioning it ahead of peers in recent project approvals.
