In its latest quarter it earned $0.50 per share, which matched the $0.50 analysts expected, with revenue +9.8% year over year.
Wall Street's average rating is 1.4 on a 1 (strong buy) to 5 (sell) scale, roughly a "strong buy", with an average price target of $85.46.
The next earnings report is expected around Nov 2, 2026; prices often move sharply around earnings.
Research notes
WMB’s bull case remains its fully contracted natural-gas infrastructure platform, with Barclays citing power innovation as a second growth engine and keeping an $82 target, while Street consensus sits around a Buy with low-$80s to mid-$80s targets. The bear case is valuation and balance-sheet sensitivity: several recent notes flag the stock as expensive versus history, and leverage/dividend coverage remain watch points despite solid operating momentum. A key recent catalyst was Barclays’ Oct. 1 reinstatement/upgrade to Overweight/Strong Buy, alongside Williams’ maintained 2026 guidance and continued optimism around gas demand from LNG and power growth. Price action does not fully agree with the prior positive view: the shares were around $69.22 last view and are roughly flat to slightly up at about $69.3, so the stock has held in place rather than rerating sharply.
