The signal on KMI is bullish: price action is confirming the underlying trend, not fighting it. Earnings and guidance carry more weight than macro data at this capitalisation.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into KMI?

RICH

At today's price, Kinder Morgan, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 6.8% a year for 3 years, slowing to a long-run rate by year 10, to justify its valuation at a 6.55% cost of capital. Over the last five years its revenue has trended at -4.1% a year, so the market is asking for 10.9 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis KMI looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

vs 200-day average

Up days (1y)
54%

Kinder Morgan, Inc. is currently running 34.1% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against KMI's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 86th percentile — elevated for this stock, against a typical reading of 21.8%.

KMI is trading -28.8% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -20.0%, and the deepest was -67.3% in 2015. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began, and where past declines also continued.

Price sits -1.4% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 36th percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year KMI closed higher on 54% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On November specifically: over 13 years of records, KMI finished the month higher 8 of 13 times, with a median return of +4.7% and an average of +3.4%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +3.4% on average, its weakest December at -2.8%.

Overnight risk is measurable too: KMI has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 96 of 3,268 sessions (2.9% of the time), with the largest gaps running +6.8% and -5.4%.

Across the last 4 dated reports on file, KMI moved an average of 2.5% in the session after earnings, closing higher 2 of those 4 times, with a median move of -0.8% and a largest of -3.9%.

All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against KMI's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
