Kinder Morgan said it expected adjusted pre-tax earnings of $7.6 billion next year, in line with Wall Street estimates but down from a forecast of $7.8 billion in 2019. Kinder Morgan expected to generate $5.1 billion of distributable cash flow in 2020, about 3% higher than the current forecast for 2019.
