What believers are saying
- Q2 2026 EBITDA rose 12% to $2.2 billion, with EPS beating estimates.
- FERC’s June 26, 2026 EIS advanced SSE4 and MSX toward 2028 service.

What critics are saying
- Kinder Morgan still depends on FERC approvals for SSE4, MSX, and future expansions.
- Utility yield competition and rising Treasury rates pressure KMI’s valuation and dividend appeal.
- A prolonged federal permitting freeze would cripple Kinder Morgan’s expansion model.
What makes Kinder Morgan unique
- Kinder Morgan’s 79,000-mile network and 139 terminals create unmatched Gulf-to-Rockies optionality.
- In 2026, 92% of backlog is natural gas, anchored by FERC-regulated take-or-pay contracts.
- Western Gateway’s 2026 joint venture with Phillips 66 and HF Sinclair deepens downstream reach.
