Williams Companies stock price 2026–2030: scenariosHow are the stock price scenarios calculated? Bear, base and bull prices for the years ahead: the analysts' EPS estimates times the lowest, average and highest P/E of the stock today and at its last five year ends, or of its peers.
If Williams Companies's earnings keep growing at the 13.4% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 3.94 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (13.3 to 29.7) that is 52.55 to 117.09 a share, or 91.00 at its average P/E of 23.1. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 2.44 | 32.61 | 56.47 | 72.67 |
| FY2027 | 2.61 | 34.81 | 60.29 | 77.57 |
| FY2028 | 3.06 | 40.86 | 70.77 | 91.06 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 3.47 | 46.34 | 80.25 | 103.26 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 3.94 | 52.55 | 91.00 | 117.09 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after grow 13.4% a year (the analysts' growth, at most 15%). Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of today and the last five fiscal year ends, leaving out any above 60, the mark of a year of collapsed earnings (13.3, 23.1, 29.7).
Is Williams Companies stock undervalued or overvalued?How does Arincen work out a stock's fair value? Fair value is our estimate of a share's price at the P/E the company usually trades at, with a low to high range around it.
Williams Companies's P/E of 27.1 is around the middle of its 5-year range (13.4 to 37.4, median 28.3). It is in line with its own history. Buyers pay more for each point of growth than usual: a PEG of 2.1 on expected growth against 0.4 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. Fair value is not a reliable guide for Williams Companies: its earnings swing (EPS fell 30.0% in FY2024), so its usual P/E would mislead. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2026, is 28.3.
