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
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.
