Analyst response and company results
Separately, ExxonMobil received a reaffirmation of a Buy rating from UBS with a price target set at $171.00; UBS pointed to potential gains from the Golden Pass LNG project, noting meaningful improvements to free cash flow and possible benefits from rising natural gas prices driven by increased LNG export demand.
For Kinder Morgan itself, fourth-quarter 2025 results exceeded both Goldman Sachs estimates and consensus expectations, with the outperformance driven by strong Gas segment EBITDA. After those results, Goldman Sachs kept a Buy rating on the shares and maintained a $32.00 price target.
Other recent analyst moves include an upgrade from Freedom Capital Markets, which moved Kinder Morgan from Sell to Hold and cited an 8.3% beat on consensus adjusted EPS.
