What the company does

Kinder Morgan runs one of the largest U.S. natural-gas pipeline networks, charging tolls mostly under long-term contracts. It doesn't bet on gas prices: it bets gas keeps flowing — and the AI power boom gave it new life.

What will shape its future

  • Data-center electricity demand, which boosts gas burned for generation.
  • U.S. LNG exports, another volume engine.
  • Interest rates and new-pipeline regulation, its classic brakes.
