<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Kinder Morgan's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.94%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. 
From a legal standpoint, the term "insider" pertains to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as outlined in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to inform the public of their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
A company insider's new purchase is a indicator of their positive anticipation for a rise in the stock.
While insider sells may not necessarily reflect a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.

Barclays Maintains Equal-Weight on Kinder Morgan, Raises Price Target to $24

The price of natural gas is expected to remain low for the foreseeable future because of the ramping production. A lot of it is available, and the infrastructure is improving rapidly. Natural gas production is driven by the need to decarbonize and a need to power AI, which also drives demand. <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/sectors/energy/">Demand for natural gas</a> is the salient point because it has to be gathered, processed, stored, and transported, which is where the profits are. Mid-stream operators are insulated from natural gas price swings. They make their money from demand and volume, with <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stock-ideas/natural-gas-will-boom-in-2025-and-kinder-morgan-is-the-play/">demand growing steadily</a>&mdash;good news for their revenue, cash flow, and capital returns.&nbsp;
The latest estimates show that natural gas demand growth will run at a 3.5% CAGR over the next 10 years, producing a 35% net increase before the end of this decade and driving business for midstream companies like Kinder Morgan (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kmi#NYSE">KMI</a>), Williams Companies (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wmb#NYSE">WMB</a>), and others. The critical detail is that these companies produce robust cash flow and pay it to their investors. The takeaway is that their high yields are safe and reliable, distribution growth supports the price action, and the market for their stock is on fire.&nbsp;
<h3>Kinder Morgan Reports Tepid Q3: Stock Price Breaks Out to Multi-Year High</h3>
Kinder Morgan reported a tepid Q3, with revenue and profits missing the consensus estimates, but the outlook overshadowed the bad news. The company&#39;s comments echo those of others in the industry, citing robust demand from the data center industry that is expected to drive significant and sustained volume growth over the next few years. About 300 data centers are under construction in the U.S., all located within easy reach of natural gas infrastructure and all in need of reliable power with the lowest carbon impact.
Kinder Morgan&#39;s stock price surged following the Q3 release, breaking out to a multi-year high that puts it on track to rise by at least another 20% over the next 12 to 24 months. The move is aided by analysts raising their price targets, lifting the consensus by 10% since summer. Consensus implies fair value near $24.50, but revisions suggest a move to the high-end range is likely, which is another 10% higher.&nbsp;
Analysts will likely continue raising targets because of pipeline asset growth, cash flow growth, free cash flow, and capital return growth, including share repurchases. Kinder Morgan share repurchases benefit shareholders, reducing the average count by 1.7% in the year&#39;s first nine months. <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NYSE/KMI/">Regarding the dividend</a>, it yields more than 4.5%.&nbsp;

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
In the complex landscape of investment decisions, investors should approach insider transactions as part of a comprehensive analysis, considering various elements.
From a legal standpoint, the term "insider" pertains to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as outlined in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to inform the public of their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
A company insider's new purchase is a indicator of their positive anticipation for a rise in the stock.
While insider sells may not necessarily reflect a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes Worth Your Attention</h3>
When it comes to transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Kinder Morgan shares are trading lower after the company reported worse-than-expected Q3 financial results and said it expects FY24 Adj. EBITDA and Adj. EPS to be below budget.

Kinder Morgan Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KMI#NYSE">KMI</a>) reported third-quarter financial results after the market close on Wednesday. Here&#8217;s a look at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/b41367646/kinder-morgan-reports-third-quarter-2024-financial-results">key details from the quarter</a>.
Q3 Earnings: Kinder Morgan reported third-quarter revenue of $3.699 billion, missing the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate</a>&nbsp;of $3.975 billion, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/gxjhpowx7zks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>. The company reported quarterly earnings of 25 cents per share, missing analyst estimates of 27 cents per share.
Distributable cash flow came in at 49 cents per share after the company generated $1.2 billion in cash from operations and approximately $600 million in free cash flow during the quarter.
The company&#8217;s board approved a dividend of $0.2875&nbsp;per share for the&nbsp;third quarter, payable on Nov. 15 to shareholders of record as of Oct. 31.
&#8220;The company had a solid&nbsp;third quarter&nbsp;on increased financial contributions from our Natural Gas Pipelines and Terminals business segments, with Adjusted EBITDA up&nbsp;2%&nbsp;versus the&nbsp;third quarter&nbsp;of 2023. Further, KMI&#8217;s balance sheet remains very strong, as we ended the quarter with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.1 times,&#8221; said Kim Dang, CEO of Kinder Morgan.
&#8220;Discussions around opportunities related to significant new natural gas demand for electric generation associated with coal conversions at power plants, artificial intelligence operations, cryptocurrency mining, data centers and industrial re-shoring also continued during the quarter, and we now see an opportunity set well in excess of 5 Bcf/d in that area.&#8221;

Outlook: Kinder Morgan had been anticipating full-year 2024 distributable cash flow of $5 and adjusted EBITDA of $8.16 billion, both up 8% year-over-year. The company also previously expected to end the year with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 3.9 times.
&#8220;Due to lower than budgeted commodity prices and start-up delays on our RNG facilities, partially offset by higher contributions from natural gas transmission and storage, we now expect to be below budget on Adjusted EBITDA by approximately&nbsp;2%&nbsp;and on Adjusted EPS by approximately&nbsp;4%, although we expect Adjusted EBITDA to be up&nbsp;5%&nbsp;and Adjusted EPS to be up&nbsp;9%&nbsp;for the full year versus 2023. We expect to end the year with a Net Debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio of 4.0 times,&#8221; Dang said.
Management will hold a conference call to discuss these results at 4:30 p.m. ET.
KMI Price Action: <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/kmi">Kinder Morgan shares</a> were up approximately 41% year-to-date heading into the print. The stock was down 3.81% after hours at $23.98 at the time of publication Wednesday, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/gxjhpowx7zks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>.
