Wolfe Research downgraded Williams to Underperform from Peer Perform with a $34 price target. The company "has had challenges" with a disappointing 2024-2025 outlook in February, weak gas prices, and large gas production cuts, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Despite this, the stock has kept pace with peers year-to-date on early hopes for a gas recovery and data center buzz, says Wolfe. The firm cites relative valuation for the downgrade.
