Kinder Morgan stock gains 1.19 percent as RBC raises its target

Kinder Morgan stock (ISIN US49456B1017) traded at USD 31.64 on the New York Stock Exchange at 1:50 p.m. Eastern Time on September 23, 2026, up 1.19 percent from the prior close of USD 31.27. The move follows a fresh analyst catalyst: MarketBeat reported on September 23, 2026, that RBC raised its Kinder Morgan price target to USD 36 from USD 35 while maintaining a Sector Perform rating.

RBC sees stronger third quarter

The target increase is a USD 1 step, or 2.86 percent, above the previous target. Yahoo Finance reported on September 22, 2026, that RBC sees strong third-quarter momentum for Kinder Morgan, supported by commodity-price tailwinds and operating performance.

A second report from Yahoo Finance on September 22, 2026, said RBC expects higher commodity prices to support Kinder Morgan's third-quarter core earnings. The stock market reaction therefore rests on an earnings-related expectation rather than on the target change alone.

Share price remains below yearly high

The September 23, 2026 intraday price of USD 31.64 remains USD 3.17, or 9.10 percent, below the 52-week high of USD 34.81. The 52-week low is USD 25.60, placing the share USD 6.04 above that low and 23.59 percent higher than the bottom of the reported range.

Trading activity reached 995,040 shares by the cited September 23, 2026 timestamp. Market capitalization was USD 70.63 billion, while the previous session on September 22, 2026 closed at USD 31.27 after a 1.42 percent decline. That contrast leaves the latest gain as a partial recovery rather than evidence of a new yearly high.

Kinder Morgan stock closes near USD 32

At USD 31.64 on the NYSE as of September 23, 2026 at 1:50 p.m. Eastern Time, Kinder Morgan stock was closer to its 52-week high than its low, but still below the USD 36 RBC target. The key market question is whether the third-quarter operating momentum described by RBC converts into reported core earnings.
