Reverse DCF
What growth is priced into WMB?
At today's price, The Williams Companies, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 14.4% a year for 3 years, slowing to a long-run rate by year 10, to justify its valuation at a 6.71% cost of capital. Over the last five years its revenue has trended at -0.3% a year, so the market is asking for 14.7 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis WMB looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

What WMB's own history says about today's numbers
- Realized volatility (21d)

The Williams Companies, Inc. is currently running 39.8% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against WMB's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 84th percentile — elevated for this stock, against a typical reading of 24.4%.
WMB is trading -16.0% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -25.2%, and the deepest was -64.2% in 2015. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this stock gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.
Price sits -7.8% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 19th percentile — a narrower gap than it typically runs. Over the past year WMB closed higher on 50% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a falling streak.
On November specifically: over 13 years of records, WMB finished the month higher 8 of 13 times, with a median return of +0.9% and an average of +2.0%. Its strongest month historically has been April at +6.5% on average, its weakest December at -4.6%.
Overnight risk is measurable too: WMB has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 168 of 3,268 sessions (5.1% of the time), with the largest gaps running +9.6% and -10.9%.
Across the last 3 dated reports on file, WMB moved an average of 1.2% in the session after earnings, closing higher 3 of those 3 times, with a median move of +1.4% and a largest of +1.8%.
All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-05, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against WMB's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
