Return measured from the Friday, June 26 close to the Thursday, July 2 close, the week it appeared in Issue No. 02.

Why It Moved

The Story Behind the Move

KMIdown 3.4 percent in Week of June 29 to July 2, 2026

Catalyst

Project backlog above $10B, over half tied to data center gas and power

Why It Mattered

The structural story stayed intact, but a soft oil tape dragged the whole energy sector lower and KMI went with it.

Risk Note

It trades at a premium to its own history, and its debt load makes it sensitive to rates staying higher for longer.

Reader Takeaway

A long term thesis does not exempt a stock from a weak sector week. Watch how it acts when energy stabilizes.
