There wouldn’t be many who think Kinder Morgan, Inc.’s (NYSE:KMI) price-to-earnings (or “P/E”) ratio of 19.2x is worth a mention when the median P/E in the United States is similar at about 18x. However, investors might be overlooking a clear opportunity or potential setback if there is no rational basis for the P/E.
There hasn’t been much to differentiate Kinder Morgan’s and the market’s retreating earnings lately. It seems that few are expecting the company’s earnings performance to deviate much from most other companies, which has held the P/E back. You’d much rather the company wasn’t bleeding earnings if you still believe in the business. At the very least, you’d be hoping that earnings don’t accelerate downwards if your plan is to pick up some stock while it’s not in favour.
