Kinetik Holdings IncKinetik posted record quarterly results with Adjusted EBITDA of $280.8M and raised full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance by 7%.

Kinetik Holdings Inc. reported the strongest quarterly results in company history on August 5 and raised its full-year 2026 guidance, while launching a string of expansion decisions that stretch out to 2028. The Permian-focused midstream operator posted net income, including noncontrolling interest, of $123.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, with Adjusted EBITDA climbing to $280.8 million. Its largest unit, the Midstream Logistics segment, grew Adjusted EBITDA 35% year over year to $204.8 million even though processed natural gas volumes held flat at 1.74 Bcf/d, a figure that came despite roughly 250 million cubic feet per day of gas shut in because of weak Waha-area pricing. Kinetik raised its full-year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to a range of $1.04 billion to $1.1 billion, a 7% bump from the guidance it issued in February, and lifted its 2026 capital expenditure guidance to approximately $560 million to cover the roughly $260 million Kings Landing II sour gas processing project, accelerated customer development, long-lead equipment for another processing expansion, and right-of-way work on the ECCC Pipeline. The Pipeline Transportation segment posted Adjusted EBITDA of $83.0 million, down 14% year over year, which the company attributes to last year's divestiture of its equity stake in EPIC Crude Holdings, and Kinetik expects gas curtailments to keep running at an average of 25 million cubic feet per day through the second half of 2026 while modeling Waha Hub natural gas at negative $0.26 per MMBtu for the full year. Net debt stood at $3.94 billion at quarter end, putting the leverage ratio at 3.85 times, and the stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 22.12 as of September 16, with hedge fund ownership rising from 25 funds to 29 and short interest at 9.25% of float.
