Analyst projections of the future price of Williams Cos. stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
Third-quarter adjusted EBITDA rose 6% and AFFO rose 10% year on year, with Williams tracking towards the upper half of its 2026 guidance. The 2.42× AFFO dividend cover also points to strong cash support for the payout. (Williams Companies)
Williams is adding contracted capacity to Transco, including the 150+ MMcf/d Southeast Supply Enhancement II and an upsized Garden Connector. These projects build on a large expansion programme aimed at utility demand across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. (RBN Energy, Williams Companies)
Williams’ power business is beginning to contribute, with its Socrates project coming online ahead of schedule. Management expects to announce one or two more power projects by year-end, offering a further potential growth channel. (The Motley Fool)
A court overturned a key New Jersey water permit for the Northeast Supply Enhancement pipeline and sent it back to regulators. Williams says the setback could put the project’s target timing at risk, even if it does not materially change its financial forecast. (Reuters, The Motley Fool)
The expansion programme requires heavy investment: Williams expects $7.3–$7.9 billion of growth capital spending in 2026, while quarter-end net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 3.80×. Management described 2026–27 as the tighter leverage years, which could limit financial flexibility before newer projects add earnings. (Williams Companies, The Motley Fool)
Costs grew faster than revenue in the third quarter: total expenses rose 15% and operating margin fell to 35.2% from 37.9% a year earlier. Continued acquisition and project costs could weigh on margins as Williams expands. (Yahoo Finance)
