Dividend may appear attractive but is unsustainable at 270+ payout ratio. When the dividend gets cut, the multiple will fall as well causing this stock to fall out of favor.

Low cash position, increasing debt, and trading at significant premium to its industry (30+ for KMP versus ~20 for industry) leads me to believe that the stock is heading for a fall.

The most attractive characteristic of KMP is its low beta of ~.25 but the downward pressures on this stock come from its unsustainable payout ratio rather than overall market movement.

P/E is over double the average for the industry and too much debt to boot. Short term short while oil bottoms.

Huge debt, few cash, high P/B and PER. I am pessimist about KMP. Maybe i am wrong...maybe i am right...the time will give an answer!!! Wait and see.

still a little too close to it's 52 week high may need to pull back and buy on the dip to feel warm & fuzzy on this one short term.
