Williams Companies (NYSE:WMB) is among them 14 Best American Stocks to Invest in.
On March 2, Morgan Stanley analyst Robert Kidd raised the company’s price recommendation on Williams Companies Inc. (NYSE:WMB) from $83 to $90. The company reiterated its overweight rating on the stock. Analysts told investors that further positive growth capex and EBITDA estimate revisions should continue to drive growth for much of the near year.
In early February, the company said it was exploring the purchase of natural gas production assets in the United States. The move would be unusual for an energy infrastructure operator. The effort is aimed at securing natural gas supplies to support its one-stop-shop offering to hyperscalers and data center customers, three people familiar with the matter said. The company last year positioned itself as an energy provider for companies building artificial intelligence infrastructure. Along with its traditional pipeline operations, it is expanding its power generation capabilities.
Williams is now looking for upstream assets that could allow it to present itself as an energy unit partner to hyperscalers, the sources said. The approach can give a company an edge when working with digital infrastructure operators who might otherwise need to negotiate with multiple providers. The source also cautioned that there is no guarantee the company will go ahead with the plan. They spoke on condition of anonymity for confidential discussions.
Williams Companies (NYSE:WMB) owns and operates energy infrastructure that delivers natural gas. The company’s divisions include Transmission, Power and Gulf. Northeast G&P; West; and gas and NGL marketing services.
