Investing.com - UBS has reiterated a Buy rating and $38.00 price target on Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI), citing growth opportunities from increasing power demand. The energy infrastructure giant, currently trading at $27.20 with a market capitalization of $60.4 billion, maintains a solid 4.32% dividend yield. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company shows good financial health with consistent dividend growth over seven consecutive years.
