Thesis Summary

DT Midstream entered the second half of 2026 with first-half adjusted EBITDA of $613 million, reaffirmed 2026 guidance of $1.155-$1.225 billion, a 2027 outlook of $1.225-$1.295 billion, and $2 billion of commercialized organic projects. A Hold therefore balances sound execution and backlog conversion against project, regulatory, customer, financing, cyber, and environmental risks.

Bear CaseDownside scenario
$130.0022%

A guidance miss, slower permitting or construction, weaker producer volumes, customer stress, or higher financing and compliance costs could impair backlog economics and cause the shares to revisit the official 52-week low.

Base CaseCentral scenario
$155.0059%
Matches the consensus mean

The base case assumes delivery within the reaffirmed 2026 adjusted EBITDA range, continued conversion of the organic backlog, and maintenance of the $0.88 quarterly dividend. The latest official closing price is used as a neutral provisional target rather than presenting an unsupported consensus anchor.

Bull CaseUpside scenario
$176.0019%

Execution near the high end of 2026 guidance, progression toward the 2027 outlook, and timely delivery of LEAP Phase 5, Viking modernization, and Guardian G3 could support a return to the official 52-week high.

Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale.
