(KMI) is a midstream energy infrastructure provider in North America. The company operates pipelines to transport natural gas, crude oil, condensate, refined petroleum products, and more. With a market cap of $64.3 billion, Kinder Morgan operates through Natural Gas Pipelines, Products Pipelines, Terminals, and CO2 segments.<\/p>\n<p>The energy giant is expected to announce its first-quarter results on Wednesday, Apr. 16. Ahead of the event, analysts expect KMI to deliver an adjusted EPS of $0.34, the same as the earnings reported in the year-ago quarter. However, the company has a mixed earnings surprise history. It missed the Street\u2019s bottom-line estimates twice over the past four quarters while exceeding or matching on two other occasions. Its adjusted EPS of $0.32 for the last reported quarter missed the consensus estimates by 3%.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ads__inline\">\n<div id=\"js-dfp-tag-A8w\"  class=\"btf-bodymidpagetwothirdswidth-1\">          <script type=\"text\/javascript\">         googletag.cmd.push(function() {             \/\/ Check if ID matches ID in the window.adsList array before calling googletag.display             function isAdInAdsList(id) {             for (var i = 0; i < window.adsList.length; i++) {                 if (window.adsList[i].id === id) {                     return true;                 }             }             return false;         }         if (isAdInAdsList('js-dfp-tag-A8w')) {             googletag.display('js-dfp-tag-A8w');         }         });     <\/script> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>     <span>Active Investor: <\/span> FREE newsletter going behind the headlines on the hottest stocks to uncover new trade ideas  <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, for the full fiscal 2025, KMI is expected to report an adjusted EPS of $1.28, up 11.3% from $1.15 in fiscal 2024.
