Williams is a natural gas infrastructure company. It says its pipelines deliver about one third of U.S. natural gas.
Its assets include:
- **Interstate pipelines:** the Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line (Transco), Northwest Pipeline and MountainWest, plus an interest in Gulfstream
- **Storage:** natural gas storage, including Clay Basin
- **Gulf of Mexico:** gathering, processing and crude oil transportation
- **Gathering and processing:** systems in the Northeast (Marcellus/Utica, including Ohio Valley Midstream and the Susquehanna and Utica supply hubs) and the West (including the Haynesville, Louisiana Energy Gateway and the newly acquired Momentum Midstream assets)
- **Marketing:** a gas and NGL marketing business
Williams is also expanding into behind-the-meter power generation for large power users, with its Socrates project. It earns mostly fee-based revenue from regulated transportation and storage, gathering and processing, and power generation services. Customers include LNG exporters, utilities, power generators and industrial users. Updated
A 5.68% slide to $64.04 from a $67.89 open takes roughly $4.5 billion off an $80 billion pipeline operator in a single session, an outsized move for a name usually bought for its steadiness. Worth watching whether buyers step in near this level.
A 5.3% drop to $67.83 takes roughly $4 billion off an $83 billion midstream name that rarely trades like this. Watch whether buyers defend the open at $71.63 or let the gap stand.
A 5.10% intraday run to $73.07 is a big day for a $89 billion pipeline name that usually trades like a utility, and it lands the session after the Q3 earnings report hit EDGAR. Keep an eye on whether it holds the gain into the close.
A 5.18% intraday run to $73.13 is a big day for a midstream name that usually trades like a utility, and it lands the session after the Q3 earnings filing hit EDGAR. Keep an eye on whether the $89.5 billion pipeline giant holds the gain into the close.
Williams is now tracking toward the upper half of its $8.3 billion to $8.5 billion 2026 adjusted EBITDA range after revenue beat expectations, with new power generation contracts and the early close of the Momentum Midstream deal doing the work. Management says more power projects will be announced soon.
A 4.79% drop strips about $4 billion from a midstream giant that rarely moves this hard in a single session. Worth watching whether the $72.53 open becomes resistance.
A 4.2% intraday slide to $69.79 erases roughly $3.8 billion of market value, a sharp single-day move for a midstream name that usually trades like a utility. Keep an eye on whether it holds the $69 handle into the close.
