Here we see KMI Valuation from Morningstar. We also see that KMI is undervalue compared to Industry P/E Avg. Another item I like to look at is Forward P/E which is 15.6. This is below current P/E of 28.1 which is a good thing. The PEG Ratio is very low which tells us that it is undervalue.

Here are some quote from a S&P Capital IQ report that shows why I keep investing in KMI. This Analysis was done on Dec 16, 2013

Morningstar (***) Fair: $34.00
S&P Capital IQ (****) Fair: $30.50
