All measured sympathy peers for KMI

Nobody else publishes this measurement; it exists because EarningsWatcher computes it from every KMI report, with the peer's own earnings days and heavy market days excluded.

Why trade the peer instead of KMI itself?
Options on KMI are expensive into the print — the expected move is priced in, and implied volatility collapses the moment results land. TGTX has no event that day: its options are priced for a normal session, and measured across our pairs the median change in peer IV through a reporter's print is roughly zero. The sympathy trade turns KMI's report into a position with a normal-day hurdle instead of an event-premium hurdle. New to the concept?

Frequently asked questions
Which stocks move when KMI reports earnings?
Measured over up to ten years of KMI's earnings days, the strongest sympathy peer is TGTX: same direction as KMI's reaction in 68% of 40 tracked reports, median same-day move ±2.3%.
Are stocks like KMI worth watching on its earnings day?
That is exactly what a sympathy play is: KMI's report reprices companies with the same customers and economics, so 'stocks like KMI' often move the same day — without an earnings event of their own. The size is usually smaller than KMI's own move (TGTX: ±2.3% vs a normal day ×1.4), but the peer's options carry no event premium, so there is no IV crush to pay.
Is TGTX correlated with KMI?
On KMI's earnings days specifically, yes, historically: 68% same-direction over 40 events after excluding TGTX's own earnings window and heavy market days. General day-to-day correlation is a different (weaker) question — the earnings-day link is the tradeable one.
What is a sympathy stock?
A sympathy stock moves on another company's news rather than its own — here, TGTX reacting to KMI's earnings. EarningsWatcher measures these relationships event by event and gates them for sample size, direction consistency and amplification; see the full guide to sympathy plays.
