Kinder Morgan Investment Narrative Recap

Kinder Morgan appeals to investors who believe in long-lived, fee-based energy infrastructure that functions more like a toll road than a commodity trade. The extended US$3.50 billion credit facility modestly reinforces near term financial flexibility, but it does not materially change the key near term catalyst, which remains contract driven volume growth, or the main risk, which is the company’s elevated leverage and sensitivity to any tightening in credit conditions.

The recent increase in swingline capacity to US$400 million sits alongside dividend growth and ongoing capital projects such as Western Gateway, all of which rely on dependable access to funding. As Kinder Morgan balances expansion projects with a large, aging asset base, investors may want to watch how added liquidity supports maintenance and safety spend without further stretching the balance sheet.

Yet behind Kinder Morgan’s reliable, fee based model, investors should still be aware of the company’s sizeable net debt and what could happen if credit markets...

Kinder Morgan's narrative projects $19.1 billion revenue and $3.5 billion earnings by 2029. This requires 2.9% yearly revenue growth and about a $0.2 billion earnings increase from $3.3 billion today.
