KMI's Volume Plummets 21.54% to 326th Despite Earnings Revisions and Mixed Revenue Growth

On August 25, 2025, Kinder Morgan (KMI) saw a trading volume of $0.27 billion, a 21.54% drop from the previous day, ranking it 326th in market activity. The stock closed down 0.82%, underperforming broader market trends.

Analysts highlight earnings revisions as a critical factor for KMI’s near-term trajectory. The company is projected to report $0.29 per share in the current quarter, a 16% year-over-year increase. However, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for this quarter has declined 1.4% over the past 30 days. For the current fiscal year, earnings are expected to reach $1.27 per share, reflecting a 10.4% annual growth, though this estimate has risen by just 0.3% in the same period. The next fiscal year’s consensus stands at $1.31 per share, indicating a 3.2% year-over-year improvement, albeit with a 0.8% downward adjustment in the past month.

Revenue projections show mixed momentum. KMI’s current quarter sales are forecast at $4.17 billion, a 12.7% increase year-over-year. For the next two fiscal years, revenue estimates of $17.03 billion and $18.06 billion suggest growth rates of 12.8% and 6.1%, respectively. Recent quarterly results included $4.04 billion in revenue, a 13.2% rise year-over-year, though earnings per share of $0.28 matched the prior year’s figure, resulting in a zero EPS surprise.

Valuation metrics position KMI as fairly valued relative to peers. The Zacks Value Style Score assigns it a “C,” indicating alignment with industry benchmarks. This suggests limited upside or downside potential in the near term, with the stock neither significantly undervalued nor overvalued.

A backtest of a strategy buying the top 500 stocks by daily volume and holding for one day from December 2021 to August 2025 yielded $2,940 in total profit, with a maximum drawdown of -$1,960. The Sharpe ratio of 1.53 reflects strong risk-adjusted returns, though the worst monthly performance was a $790 loss in August 2025.
