Earnings Summary
In the most recent two quarters, ONEOK’s earnings per share (EPS) rose from $1.04 in Q1 2025 to $1.55 in Q4 2025, and then to $2.13 in Q3 and Q4 2026, reflecting a sharp acceleration in profitability. Revenue followed a similar trajectory, growing from $8.04 billion in Q1 2025 to $9.06 billion in Q4 2025, and then to $12.46 billion in Q3 2026, with the company consistently beating analyst EPS estimates in each of the last four quarters and reporting revenue above expectations in Q3 2026. Historically, ONEOK has maintained a steady YoY revenue growth rate, with EPS growth outpacing revenue growth in recent periods, and has consistently surpassed analyst forecasts for both earnings and revenue, underscoring a pattern of robust operational performance. Recent news highlights a third consecutive upgrade to the 2026 earnings outlook, driven by record Permian volumes, the Brazos Midland acquisition, and significant debt repayment, which collectively strengthened the balance sheet and cash‑flow generation; the company also lifted its full‑year 2026 net‑income guidance to $4.09–$4.27 billion and adjusted EBITDA guidance to $8.5–$8.6 billion.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into OKE?

CHEAP

At today's price, ONEOK, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 4.0% a year for 3 years, slowing to a long-run rate by year 10, to justify its valuation at a 6.49% cost of capital. Over the last five years its revenue has trended at 14.9% a year, so the market is asking for 10.9 percentage points below its own delivered rate. On that basis OKE looks priced below what its own growth record supports.

Up days (1y)
52%

ONEOK, Inc. is currently running 30.8% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against OKE's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 79th percentile — elevated for this stock, against a typical reading of 22.1%.

OKE is trading -24.6% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -18.4%, and the deepest was -57.3% in 2020. 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 -0.7% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 39th percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year OKE closed higher on 52% of sessions, and it is currently 4 sessions into a falling streak.

On November specifically: over 13 years of records, OKE finished the month higher 6 of 13 times, with a median return of -1.4% and an average of +2.8%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +3.3% on average, its weakest September at -4.2%.

Overnight risk is measurable too: OKE has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 122 of 3,268 sessions (3.7% of the time), with the largest gaps running +7.1% and -6.7%.

Across the last 5 dated reports on file, OKE moved an average of 1.3% in the session after earnings, closing higher 0 of those 5 times, with a median move of -1.2% and a largest of -3.6%.

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