While EQT Corp is a strong natural gas producer positioned to benefit from growing demand, analyst Matt DiLallo recommends buying Kinder Morgan first in 2026. Kinder Morgan's midstream pipeline business offers more predictable cash flow with 69% from take-or-pay contracts and lower commodity price exposure, compared to EQT's upstream production which faces volatile gas pricing. Both companies stand to benefit from AI data center demand and LNG exports, but Kinder Morgan's stable earnings support a higher 4.3% dividend yield with nine consecutive annual increases expected.
The Motley Fool•Matt Dilallo
AI Insight
Strong upstream gas producer with low operating costs, vertical integration, and positioned to benefit from growing gas demand from AI data centers and LNG exports. Expected to generate $10-25 billion cumulative free cash flow through 2029. However, rated as secondary choice due to commodity price volatility exposure.
