In recent months, Strong Tower Advisory Services has made a significant investment in the energy infrastructure industry. According to the latest disclosure with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the fund recently acquired 30,058 shares of Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE:KMI), valued at approximately $526,000. This move signals a strong belief in Kinder Morgan’s potential for growth and profitability.
Kinder Morgan operates as an energy infrastructure company in North America and is divided into four segments: Natural Gas Pipelines, Products Pipelines, Terminals, and CO2. The Natural Gas Pipelines segment owns and operates interstate and intrastate natural gas pipelines and underground storage systems. Additionally, the segment manages natural gas gathering systems and processing facilities along with natural gas liquid fractionation facilities. Furthermore, Kinder Morgan runs transportation systems for liquefied natural gas gasification, liquefaction, and storage facilities.
The company’s quarter-one earnings report was issued on April 19th of this year brought good news for investors. With an expected EPS of $0.29 per share for the previous quarter; investors were thrilled when Kinder Morgan reported earnings at $0.30/share – increasing by $0.01 more than forecasted results. The company’s revenue performance didn’t lag either; earning just shy of $3.89bn during Q1’21 versus projected results indicating revenues reaching up to $4.75bn.
Despite a decline of 9.4% in quarterly revenue performances year over year attributed to pandemic adversities encountered within industries connected to Kinder Morgan’s operations matrix including among others air transportation businesses due largely to prolonged lockdown measures still plaguing various countries worldwide; investor confidence remained relatively firm throughout most financial quarters this year pointing towards stronger indications of expanded net income margins bound to take root sooner than later.
Kinder Morgan expects their current fiscal year earnings per share value (EPS) to reach highs of 1.09, according to a consensus of sell-side analysts – presenting even greater opportunities for potential growth among energy investors in the next few months and throughout this new fiscal year. Their diversified portfolio of assets spanning over natural gas to specialized products pipelines sees sustained growth for Kinder Morgan with the possibility of relocating some focus onto alternative energy sectors in fulfilment of long-term sustainability goals.
Kinder Morgan’s continued development enables Strong Tower Advisory Services, and other investment firms alike, an opportunity to capitalize on increasing demand for efficient energy infrastructure as populations worldwide continue growing along with industry needs. A strong financial outlook combined with an excellent reputation of environmentalistic compliance led by dedicated personnel the world over affords Kinder Morgan many advantages unparalleled beyond its industrial sector- their unique position predicted to alter destinies within a rapidly changing global financial scene.
