What the filing says
Williams Companies agreed to acquire Momentum Midstream for up to $5.5B ($3.5B cash/debt + ~$2B equity) in a Haynesville-focused transaction. The deal adds 4,000+ miles of pipe, 1M+ acres, 6 Bcf/d gathering capacity, and three take-or-pay pipelines (4.05 Bcf/d transport). Valued at 8.5x 2027 EBITDA, the acquisition is expected to be accretive to AFFO and EPS. Williams simultaneously raised 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance midpoint by $200M to $8.4B and announced two expansion projects (Delta Access: $1.5B, 2029 startup; Shelby Trough Connector: 750 MMcf/d initial, 2028 startup). Q2 2026 showed 6% Adjusted EBITDA growth YoY to $1.921B and 10% AFFO growth to $1.450B.
Why this rating
Material but manageable for $67.7B company. $5.5B deal ≈8% market cap; accretive guidance and Haynesville exposure amid LNG demand growth are strategically sound. Leverage rising to 3.75x is manageable; execution risk remains.
