What believers are saying

  • Rising Permian production drives volume growth, boosting adjusted EBITDA to $8.0-8.5 billion in 2026.
  • $3 billion debt refinancing at 6.25% yields funds $2.7-3.2 billion growth capex.
  • $1.4 billion LPG export terminal with MPLX captures international NGL demand.

What critics are saying

  • Enbridge and MPLX erode ONEOK's Permian NGL volumes 15-20% via lower tariffs within 12-24 months.
  • Q1 2026 EPS miss triggers sell-off, forcing dilutive equity issuance in 3-6 months.
  • FERC denies Mid-Continent pipeline extensions, capping pipeline EBITDA growth at 2% in 12-18 months.

What makes ONEOK unique

  • ONEOK operates 60,000-mile pipeline network across NGL, gathering, and pipelines segments.
  • Fee-based contracts with volume commitments ensure stable cash flows from integrated assets.
  • Eiger Express Pipeline connects Permian Basin directly to Texas Gulf Coast markets.
