INTRINSIC VALUE TODAY
$24.36
Trading above fair value
How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 21.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: KMI is currently trading at $33.65, which is considered slightly high relative to its 30-day fair value range of $32.86 to $33.81.

This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
