Model-generatedGenerated by the Bull Rankings model from this company's reported fundamentals, and checked against the figures shown above.

Why now
ONEOK’s dominance in NGL gathering, processing and fractionation across the Permian and Mid‑Continent fuels a revenue surge of 40.8% YoY, translating into $2.8 B of free cash flow and a modest PE of 16.4×—a rare growth‑value sweet spot. Our Bull Rankings model awards a Quality‑growth score of 49.2, with Quality (66) as the strongest pillar, underscoring the durability of its midstream contracts. The thesis hinges on continued NGL demand outpacing supply, keeping cash conversion high and compounding earnings.
Moat
OKE’s extensive NGL gathering pipelines and fractionation terminals create high switching costs for producers, locking in long‑term take‑or‑pay contracts that competitors can’t replicate quickly. This asset‑heavy network drives a solid ROE of 15.9%, reflecting pricing power from being the primary conduit for NGLs in its served basins.
Risk
The reverse‑DCF implies a required 6% annual FCF growth for the next decade—far below the current 40.8% revenue expansion—meaning the market has already priced in aggressive optimism. A pull‑back in NGL volumes or a rise in the debt‑to‑equity ratio to 1.43 could compress margins and trigger a valuation correction. The bear case materialises if the cyclical gas market softens and the implied growth gap widens, pushing the stock below its 52‑week low of $64.02.
Horizon
1-3 yr $96.62 (21-analyst consensus) — fundamentals + valuation re-rating. 5 yr $141.46 at ~8% CAGR — compounding case rests on the competitive position widening. 10 yr $209.85 if current growth sustains into durable earnings power.

Over the last 90 days, what analysts expect OKE to earn is drifting higher (+1.8%). The estimate is derived from price and forward P/E captured at the same instant, so a moving share price does not move this number — only a changed forecast does.

A rising estimate means expectations are improving, not that the price has failed to keep up — and estimates get cut as readily as they get raised. It is not part of the Bull Rankings score. Biggest movers across the market →

ONEOK, Inc. (OKE): score, valuation & FAQ

ONEOK, Inc. (OKE) is a Oil & Gas Midstream company that scores 49.2 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a below-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are Rev (A). On valuation, OKE sits about 5% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 6% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Is OKE a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores OKE 49.2 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a below-average reading. That is driven by Rev (A). A score is a quantitative screen of ONEOK, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does OKE score 49.2 on Bull Rankings?

The score leans on quality at 66.3 out of 100, with value the weakest pillar at 36.0 — the three combine geometrically, so a weak one cannot be papered over by a strong one. OKE earns its highest marks on Rev (A). Each signal is graded against sector-aware thresholds rather than one absolute bar, so OKE is measured against Oil & Gas Midstream peers, not against the market as a whole.

Is OKE overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $94.72, OKE sits about 5% above our discounted-cash-flow fair value — the current price implies roughly 6% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 16.4x P/E (graded B). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in OKE?

The reverse‑DCF implies a required 6% annual FCF growth for the next decade—far below the current 40.8% revenue expansion—meaning the market has already priced in aggressive optimism. A pull‑back in NGL volumes or a rise in the debt‑to‑equity ratio to 1.43 could compress margins and trigger a valuation correction. The bear case materialises if the cyclical gas market softens and the implied growth gap widens, pushing the stock below its 52‑week low of $64.02.
