Williams Companies (WMB) Earnings Outlook Revised by Stifel, Buy Rating Stays Intact

The Williams Companies, Inc. (NYSE:WMB) ranks among the best performing energy stocks to buy now. On July 16, Stifel maintained its $63 price target for The Williams Companies, Inc. (NYSE:WMB) and reaffirmed its Buy rating on the natural gas infrastructure provider. The firm revised its Williams Companies financial predictions, which mostly affected projections for the second quarter of 2025. These adjustments impact the company’s West and Exploration & Production (E&P) the most.

According to Stifel, its model changes take into consideration cost and commodity benefits that were achieved in the first quarter of 2025 but are unlikely to persist into the second quarter.

These quarterly modifications do not affect Stifel’s 2026 projections for The Williams Companies, Inc. (NYSE:WMB), which the firm states are “essentially unchanged.”
