The Numbers Work for Williams. Our Screen Doesn’t. We Pass.
Earnings Review · 02 November 2026
The print
Revenue $3.05B vs $0.54 expected.
What changed versus going in
Revenue of $3.05B compares with $2.90B expected, 5.3% above consensus.
Did the flow confirm the move?
Underlying money flow reads as accumulation (21-day Chaikin Money Flow +0.16, five-day price change +3.7%, as of 2026-10-30, desk flow model).
Give the business its due
The business itself is genuinely strong: revenue growing about 8%, net margins near 25%, a moderate competitive moat, backed by a 22% return on equity.
Levels that matter
At $74.35 the shares sit 7% below the 52-week high of $80.08 and 32% above the low of $56.19 (76% of the way up the range). The 50-day average is $72.16, below the price. The 200-day average is $69.68, below the price.
The valuation lens
The shares trade about 28% above our fair-value estimate: priced for things to go right. Fair value lands near $54 against a $74.35 share price, a margin of safety of about -28%. The trailing multiple sits around 30 times earnings, which only makes sense if the growth holds.
The ethical lens, our differentiator
Fails the principled screen, Debt ratio. A strong business is not the same as a suitable one; for a values-conscious book this is a do-not-chase regardless of the print.
The compliant alternative
If the theme is what draws you, DHT Holdings, Inc. (DHT) sits in the same industry (Oil & Gas Midstream) and clears our principled screen, the place to look instead of chasing a name that does not.
The verdict for a values-conscious investor
A beat-and-raise does not change the screen. This is a great company you can admire without owning, protection first. One quarter, strong or soft, does not decide whether a holding is suitable.
