What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of KMI's valuation, growth and risks.
Priced at 21.25 times trailing earnings, Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI) sits 15.5% above the Energy median of 18.4, a P/E the peer comparison on this page rates as broadly in line with peers. On sales, the P/S of 4.12 compares with a sector median of 2.5, 67.2% above it. For scale, KMI carries a market value of $75.6B.
KMI keeps a net margin of 19.64% and an operating margin of 24.03%. Its return on equity is 11.43%, below the sector median of 14.2%. The balance sheet shows debt-to-equity of 1.02, and the trailing dividend yield of 3.48% works out to $1.18 per share each year.
EPS of $0.35 in the October 21, 2026 report came in ahead of the $0.33 that analysts had forecast, a beat of 6.06%. The share price nonetheless dropped 0.74% in the first session after the release.
KMI has beaten estimates in 3 of the 6 reports in our data, yet the stock fell after 2 of those 3 beats, with the share price lower the next session. Looking ahead, analysts expect EPS of $1.56 for this fiscal year and $1.57 for next year. That implies growth of 20.2% for the current year.
KMI typically moves about 1.48% in a day, and its beta against the S&P 500 stands at 0.58. Insider activity over the last 18 months shows $8.2M in sales against $26.2M in open-market purchases. Sales are often planned ahead or made to cover taxes on vesting shares, so they carry less weight than buying does.

- Keep an eye on the two closest levels. Above the price is the 52-week high of $34.81, and below it is the 20-day EMA at $32.97.
- A 14-day RSI of 60.7 falls in the bullish zone, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 would signal stretched momentum.
- The share price fell 0.74% in the first session after the October 21, 2026 report, even though KMI beat estimates in 3 of the 6 reports in our data.
KMI trades above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($31.93 and $31.94), which is what makes the trend up; losing the 200-day would be the first warning. The nearest level under the price is the 20-day EMA at $32.97.
The 52-week high at $34.81 is the next level overhead. The RSI sits in the bullish band, which supports the current direction without being stretched.

Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in KMI, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 4-year Monte Carlo simulation, based on 10 years of price history, projects that a $10,000 investment in KMI today could grow to about $12,472 by 2030 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $25,488 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $6,103. The simulation models price only; at today's 3.48% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
KMI Stock Price Prediction 2030: Simulated Scenarios
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $42.33 for KMI by 2030 in the base case, from $33.94 today (1.2x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $20.71. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on KMI's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $25.09 | $35.87 | $51.27 | |
| 2028 | $22.87 | $37.90 | $62.83 | |
