Kinder Morgan Sees Slower Dividend Growth

摘要

Kinder Morgan increased its latest quarterly dividend but said the payout to shareholders would grow more slowly next year as the US pipeline company seeks to maintain financial flexibility amid a slump in oil prices. The company said it expects to increase its dividend by 6% - 10% in 2016. For 2015, the dividend is on track to grow 15% from a year ago. Kinder Morgan's shares closed some 5% lower on Thursday after the announcement about slower dividend growth.
