Jefferies analyst Robert Mosca lowered the price target on Williams Companies (NYSE: WMB) to $83.00 (from $85.00) while maintaining a Buy rating.

The analyst comments "We expect at least one deal before YE, with the next wave potentially featuring larger projects, 15-20 year contracts, and a new hyperscaler customer. While weaker Haynesville volumes could create FY27e downside in Haynesville volumes, we see materially more upside from Power than consensus beyond FY28e, with our 3.8GW assumption through FY30E well above the ~875MW implied by Street estimates. Reiterate Buy; PT to $83."

Stifel updates midstream stock price targets ahead of earnings

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 05:51:07 -0400

Investing.com - Stifel updated estimates and price targets for its covered midstream companies ahead of third-quarter earnings, the firm said in a research note.

Quarterly share performance was mixed, reflecting lower commodity prices and tightening arbitrage opportunities that resulted in substantial marketing gains in the second quarter. Production volumes increased, particularly from the Permian following egress relief, supporting incremental gathering and processing and fractionation tailwinds as elevated spreads persisted during the quarter.

Crude exports remained healthy but at a lower level than the first half of the year. Ethane exports accelerated in July and August with Energy Transfer (NYSE:ET) and Enterprise Products

Barclays Reinstates Williams Companies (WMB) at Overweight

Thu, 01 Oct 2026 03:46:25 -0400

Barclays analyst Theresa Chen reinstates coverage on Williams Companies (NYSE: WMB) with a Overweight rating and a price target of $82.00.

The analyst comments: “WMB's push into BTM power has materially augmented the company's earnings growth trajectory relative to midstream peers (11%+ CAGR, 2025-2030), layering quick-cycle, high-returning projects onto an already attractive transmission franchise.

Following the successful startup of Socrates this summer, we think the next key proof point will be WMB's ability to sanction larger-scale, longer-duration projects with a broader set of hyperscaler customers. With 1-2 incremental project FIDs on track to materialize by year end, supported by proceeds from the

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 05:30:32 -0400

Investing.com -- Wells Fargo said Monday that a coordinated slowdown in artificial intelligence development appears unlikely despite recent calls from industry leaders to pause progress for safety reasons.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman argued over the weekend that frontier AI development may be advancing faster than safety measures can keep pace. Anthropic called for third-party oversight, industry safety standards, and international coordination to slow the rate of AI growth. The push follows growing concerns over recursive self-improvement and recent AI security incidents.
