On Feb. 24, OKE shares declined 5.1% following the release of its mixed Q4 2025 earnings. The company’s adjusted EBITDA decreased 1.3% from the prior year’s quarter to $2.1 billion and failed to surpass the Street’s estimates. However, its EPS for the quarter amounted to $1.55, coming in on top of Wall Street estimates. For the next fiscal year, the company expects its adjusted EPS and EPS midpoint to be around $8.1 billion and $5.45, respectively.

When stacked against its peer, Cheniere Energy, Inc. (LNG), OKE has underperformed harshly. Over the past year, LNG stock has climbed 13.2%, outperforming OKE stock.

Wall Street’s sentiment on OKE remains somewhat positive. Among the 20 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $88.11 suggests a 4% upside potential from current price levels.
