Williams Companies (NYSE:WMB) has seen significant activity across the spectrum. An SVP sold $109,000 and $105,420 in stock, while insiders sold $3.9m and $2.5m in stock, possibly alluding to potential weakness. On the other hand, Everence Capital Management, Principal Financial Group, Franklin Resources and Toronto Dominion Bank purchased company shares. The company's stock price surpassed the 200-day moving average, even hitting a 52-week high at $52.85 due to robust growth, while returns on capital trended higher. The mission-critical natural gas giant expanded its pipeline capacity in the Southeast by 423,400 dekatherms daily and plans 12 more such projects. Williams' Q3 2024 results surpassed estimates and saw higher sales year-on-year, although Q2 2024 earnings proved a miss. Despite market fluctuations and low gas prices, Williams leveraged LNG demand, stabilizing its somewhat strained balance sheet. Some investors are concerned about the company's P/E ratio, while others are bullish on its long-term prospects as an AI stock. Williams has dismissed extended buyout offers while being upgraded to 'buy', with a revised price target of $62.
