Williams Cos (ISIN US9694571004) was trading at EUR 60.25 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026, up 0.79 percent versus the prior close of EUR 59.78. According to MarketScreener on September 22, 2026, Capital One initiated coverage at Overweight with a USD 92.00 price target.

Guidance rises with infrastructure spending

The latest operating picture combines higher earnings with a larger investment plan. Yahoo Finance reported on September 2, 2026 that adjusted earnings per share reached USD 0.50 in the second quarter of 2026, below the USD 0.52 consensus estimate but above USD 0.46 in the year-earlier quarter.

Second-quarter 2026 revenue rose 9.80 percent year over year to USD 3.00 billion, while adjusted EBITDA increased 6.00 percent to USD 1.90 billion. Operating cash flow was USD 1.40 billion, down 5.10 percent from the second quarter of 2025, making the higher spending plan an important counterweight to the earnings growth.

The same Yahoo Finance report said Williams raised its 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to USD 8.30 billion-USD 8.50 billion and projected growth capital expenditures of USD 7.30 billion-USD 7.90 billion. The guidance frames the stock as an infrastructure expansion story, but it also points to a material capital requirement.

Analyst target leaves a wide gap

Capital One's USD 92.00 target stands above the current USD market reference cited by MarketScreener, which listed a USD 71.65 close and a USD 85.38 average target in its September 22, 2026 overview. The target gap reflects the market's emphasis on future gas demand, including power and liquefied natural gas infrastructure.

A regulatory risk remains attached to that growth case. MarketBeat reported on September 12, 2026 that a court ruling reversed a water permit for the Northeast Supply Enhancement pipeline, potentially delaying the project and increasing costs.
