Delek, Kinder Morgan and World Kinect: three fuel stocks exposed to rising gas prices

Hotter US consumer price index data and a sharp jump in fuel costs have put inflation back in focus. A Simply Wall St screen names three fuel stocks exposed to higher gasoline and diesel prices. Delek US Holdings, a refiner valued at about $4.7 billion, earns roughly $11.9 billion from refining and $1.2 billion from logistics. Its enterprise optimisation program is expected to add $130–$170 million of annualised cash flow. Kinder Morgan, valued at about $73.7 billion, moves and stores fuel through its pipelines and terminals. Natural gas pipelines bring in about $11.7 billion of revenue, and about $10 billion in gas projects sit outside its sanctioned backlog. World Kinect, a fuel marketer valued at about $1.8 billion, reports $22.6 billion in aviation revenue, $10.4 billion from land and $8.7 billion from marine operations.

Kinder Morgan advances $10.1B natural gas project backlog.

Kinder Morgan advances $10.1B natural gas project backlog. Kinder Morgan Expands U.S. Natural Gas Network as Power and LNG Demand Accelerate Kinder Morgan is expanding its U.S. natural gas infrastructure as growing liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, gas-fired power generation and data-center development tighten pipeline and storage capacity. The company estimates U.S. gas demand could reach approximately 150 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) by 2031 - about 27% above 2026 levels - and reports that utilization across its five largest gas pipelines already exceeds 90%. Its approved expansion backlog totals approximately $10.1 billion, with an average in-service date of first-quarter 2028. Major developments include the Trident Pipeline, Gulf Coast Express expansion, Amarillo Expansion, KinderHawk processing expansion and additional natural gas storage capacity. Kinder Morgan is also acquiring the Monument Pipeline System for approximately $500 million to strengthen its Texas intrastate network. Kinder Morgan U.S. Natural Gas projects. Kinder Morgan is developing additional infrastructure opportunities capable of serving more than 10 Bcf/d of power-generation demand and over 3 Bcf/d of LNG-related demand. This investment cycle creates opportunities for engineering, construction, compression, pipeline integrity, automation, measurement, electrical, storage and processing-equipment suppliers. Industry impact. Kinder Morgan's investments show how U.S. natural gas infrastructure is becoming central to LNG exports, grid reliability and data-center growth. The United States' position as a secure and scalable energy supplier - or "Safe Barrel" and increasingly a safe source of natural gas - supports long-term domestic infrastructure investment while giving global buyers an alternative to supplies exposed to geopolitical disruption. Sales strategy. Oilfield and midstream service companies should prioritize Kinder Morgan's Texas, Haynesville and Gulf Coast projects. Target project engineering, construction, operations, pipeline integrity, compression, storage and procurement teams with location-specific capabilities tied to 2026 construction activity and the Trident startup in 2027. Kinder Morgan is advancing a $10.1 billion project backlog to expand U.S. natural gas transportation, processing and storage capacity. Major opportunities are emerging across Texas, the Haynesville and the Gulf Coast as LNG, power generation and data centers drive higher gas demand.

Trump's oil and gas holdings gained up to $4.4M during Iran war

President Donald Trump's nine largest oil and gas holdings gained between $1.5 million and $4.4 million in the first six months of the Iran war, according to a CNBC analysis of his financial disclosure and market data. The holdings include Chevron, ExxonMobil, and seven other energy companies. CNBC calculated gains using share-price movements from 27 February, the day before hostilities began, through 31 August. Trump's accounts showed at least 23 sell transactions across the nine stocks through 29 June. A White House spokesman said Trump plays no role in trading decisions, with all investments managed independently. Ethics watchdogs disputed this, noting Trump still knows his heavy energy investment positions. The nine firms posted combined second-quarter profits of $47.6 billion, triple the prior year's figure. US crude prices rose roughly 36% since the war started.
