Kinder Morgan Inc. (KMI – Free Report) is set to report third-quarter 2026 results on Oct. 21, after market close.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s adjusted earnings of 37 cents per share topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 31 cents, benefiting from broad-based segment growth, led by higher natural gas transportation and gathering volumes.
The company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters while meeting the same once, delivering an average surprise of 12.77%. This is depicted in the graph below:
Kinder Morgan, Inc. price-eps-surprise | Kinder Morgan, Inc. Quote
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter earnings per share of 33 cents has witnessed one downward revision and no upward revisions in the past seven days. The estimated figure reflects a 13.8% jump from the prior-year reported figure.
The consensus estimate for revenues of $4.38 billion implies a 5.7% increase from the year-ago recorded figure.
Kinder Morgan is a leading midstream energy player in North America, with an extensive natural gas pipeline network comprising around 58,600 miles of transmission and 6,800 miles of gathering pipelines. The company transports nearly 40% of the natural gas produced in the United States. Due to the contractual nature of its business, with minimal exposure to commodity pricing volatility, KMI is likely to have generated stable earnings and cash flows in the third quarter.
The majority of its cash flows are anchored by fee-based contracts or take-or-pay agreements. The pipeline company is expected to have benefited from sustained natural gas demand driven by higher LNG exports, industrial demand and electricity generation needs. For the third quarter, natural gas gathering volumes are expected to average 4,649 British thermal units per day (BBtu/d) from 4,380 BBtu/d in the prior-year quarter, according to the Zacks Consensus Estimate. These factors are anticipated to have driven demand and pricing dynamics, aiding Kinder Morgan’s quarterly performance.
Our proven model indicates an earnings beat for KMI this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat. That is not the case here, as you will see below.

At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +23.82% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through October 5, 2026. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.
