What Wall Street Has Been Saying

🐂 Bullish Takeaways

Morgan Stanley recently lifted its Kinetik Holdings price target to US$70 from US$64 after resuming coverage with an Overweight rating in late July. The firm highlights the company as a pure play on Permian Basin midstream exposure and associated gas production.
RBC Capital has moved its target up multiple times, most recently to US$57, and points to Kinetik Holdings’ position in New Mexico sour gas infrastructure and the potential benefit from improved Waha pricing and future takeaway capacity.
BofA, Citi, JPMorgan and Raymond James all raised price targets into the mid US$50s after Q2 updates, tying their views to refreshed EBITDA models, updated 2026 guidance and what they see as solid execution on growth projects.

🐻 Bearish Takeaways

Clear Street downgraded Kinetik Holdings to Hold with a US$57 target, arguing that a 60% total return year to date versus 25% for the Russell 2000 leaves less room for upside with several near term catalysts already reflected in the stock.
Barclays maintains an Equal Weight rating with a more modest target increase to US$51, which signals a more cautious view on risk and reward compared with brokers that sit in the high US$50s or above.
