KMI
Recommendation: Buy. Our view draws on a discussion about critical minerals, renewed compute intensity, and higher power demand supporting gas-fired generation and midstream infrastructure.
Recent proof-backed thesis calls
Recent research highlights a potential US critical-minerals shortfall, renewed CPU/compute intensity tightening memory markets, and structural power-demand growth that could favor reliable gas-fired generation over intermittent resources.
Transcript argues U.S. LNG export growth (from ~15 Bcf/d today toward ~35 Bcf/d by ~2030) creates a structural natural gas supply/demand squeeze that could surface around 2028 if production and infrastructure don’t keep pace. Implies upside risk to U.S. gas (HH) and beneficiaries among gas producers, LNG exporters, and midstream; gas-intensive users face margin pressure.
Noisy, partial transcript. Core actionable ideas appear to be: (1) the US faces a “critical minerals” supply shortfall (implicitly tied to China/trade restrictions), (2) AI/compute growth is driving a resurgence in CPU/compute intensity and tightness in memory (HBM/NAND) pricing, and (3) rising power demand may favor reliable gas-fired generation vs intermittent renewables, while solar remains a separate growth vector. Specific companies are not named; tickers below are inferred, so confidence i
DOE headline roundup suggests (1) near-term grid reliability actions ahead of Mid-Atlantic heat, (2) policy support for keeping coal-fired generation operating (Colorado), (3) DOE analysis opposing stricter international building codes on cost grounds, and (4) U.S. and major gas exporters warning EU methane rules could disrupt Europe’s oil/gas supply—potentially supportive of U.S. LNG/energy security narrative. Content is high-level (no operational details), so trade actionability is limited.
Current stance
We currently rate KMI as Buy. The call is driven by the view that rising power demand supports gas supply and midstream infrastructure; minerals shortages pose downside risk to EV OEM margins, making gas-focused midstream more defensible.
