Deep Analysis
KMI's debt-to-equity ratio of 1.02x means the company uses $1.02 of debt for every $1 of shareholder equity, indicating a slightly leveraged balance sheet.
Compared to sector peers, the median is 0.73x and KMI sits at the 65th percentile, so its debt level is above average among competitors. The year-over-year change, quarter-over-quarter change, and trend over the last eight quarters are all listed as N/A, meaning no historical movement is available to assess direction. With a ratio above the sector median but no trend data, the current level suggests higher financial risk than peers, yet the lack of change leaves uncertainty about whether leverage is increasing or decreasing. This metric does not contradict the overall NEUTRAL verdict — the moderate leverage and absence of trend data combine to support a balanced view of risk and opportunity.
