Energy Transfer and Kinder Morgan, two major midstream energy companies, have both raised their 2026 financial outlooks and delivered similar stock returns this year. Energy Transfer offers a higher yield but issues a Schedule K-1 tax form, which can trigger unrelated business income tax inside IRAs, potentially reducing retirement savings. Kinder Morgan provides a lower yield but has a stronger balance sheet, investment-grade contracts, and issues a simpler Form 1099, making it more suitable for retirement accounts. Retirees should weigh payout safety, tax implications, and balance sheet strength when choosing between these stocks.
Kinder Morgan (KMI) shares trade at USD 33.92 with a dividend yield of 3.53% on Pluang. The stock has seen a modest 0.59% gain in the last day, with most users currently selling rather than buying. These figures are current as of Oct 23, 2026, 18:01 WIB.
