Kinder Morgan (KMI, $18.27) Plantation Pipeline to Expand

A significant expansion in the capacity of the Southeastern US’s main petroleum pipeline is currently in the works. The Plantation Pipeline moves refined petroleum products from Baton Rouge, LA to the Virginia coast, and is operated by Kinder Morgan (KMI), the largest transporter of petroleum products and C02 in North America.

The Roanoke Expansion Project will provide an additional capacity of 21,000 barrels a day, which has just become available for binding open season bidding. KMI will be able to offer increased capacity through improvements to pumps and storage terminals.

The Plantation Pipe Line Company is jointly owned by Exxon (XOM) and Kinder Morgan, and is one of the most significant transportation systems for refined petroleum in the United States. Baton Rogue is one of the busiest refinery locations in America, processing oil from the numerous rigs off the coast of Louisiana.

Shell Midstream Partners (SHLX) also recently held a binding open season on its Zydeco Pipeline from Houston, TX, confirming that midstream petroleum companies are on the move.

AtlasClear Holdings (ATCH) shares fell roughly 25.5% over the last 30 days, declining from $0.1881 on October 2 to $0.1401 on October 30. The pullback extended a longer downtrend that has kept the stock trading well below the $1.00 NYSE American minimum, keeping continued listing-compliance risk in focus.
Nebius Group N.V. is expected to report third-quarter 2026 results in early November, following a second quarter in which revenue surged 454% year over year. Wall Street consensus tracked by Benzinga points to roughly $937 million in Q3 2026 revenue, up from $146.1 million in the year-ago quarter.
The $1.14 central target is not an analyst consensus; it is the all-cash merger consideration in GoPro, Inc. (GPRO) 's pending deal with Starman Optical, agreed in September 2026. With the stock trading near $0.88, reaching $1.14 would require a move of roughly 29.5%.
NVDA fell -2.10% to $216.66 during regular trading, down from a prior close of $221.30. Primary catalyst: hotter-than-expected September CPI data reignited Fed rate-hike fears, raising borrowing costs for AI infrastructure buildouts.
The central target of $1,620 is the arithmetic mean of verified, current analyst price targets, rounded to a clean level; it is not a single firm's forecast or a guarantee. At a recent price of about $690 , reaching $1,620 would require a gain of roughly 135% , a very large move by any standard.
