About Oneok INC /new/

ONEOK, Inc. (NYSE: OKE) is a U.S.-listed energy infrastructure company headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States. For French-speaking investors, ONEOK is best understood as one of the major integrated midstream operators in North America: it owns and operates a large network of assets that move, process, store, fractionate and market natural gas liquids (NGLs), natural gas, refined products and crude oil. The company’s business model is largely fee-based, which generally provides a degree of cash-flow visibility compared with more commodity-price-sensitive energy businesses. ONEOK traces its roots back to 1906, giving it more than a century of operating history in the U.S. energy sector. Its long-standing Tulsa headquarters reflects deep ties to the Mid-Continent region and to the evolution of the American midstream industry. Over time, the group has broadened from a primarily gas- and NGL-focused platform into a more diversified infrastructure operator. A key strategic milestone came in September 2023 with the acquisition of Magellan Midstream Partners, which materially expanded ONEOK’s exposure to refined products and crude oil transportation and strengthened its position as a more fully integrated midstream franchise. Today, ONEOK’s main business lines include Natural Gas Liquids, Natural Gas Gathering and Processing, Natural Gas Pipelines, and Refined Products and Crude. This portfolio allows the company to participate across much of the value chain: gathering production from upstream basins, processing and fractionating volumes, transporting products to demand centers, and linking supply regions with domestic and export markets. Competitive advantages come from scale, network connectivity, diversified asset types, and a relatively stable, investment-grade-oriented balance-sheet strategy. ONEOK is also an S&P 500 constituent and one of the largest midstream service providers in the United States. Geographically, the company is well positioned in the key U.S. producing and demand corridors, including the Permian Basin, Rocky Mountains, Mid-Continent, Gulf Coast and other strategic hubs connected to industrial, utility and export markets. Recent developments have been constructive: in the first quarter of 2026, ONEOK reported higher net income and adjusted EBITDA, and it increased full-year 2026 guidance. The company also raised its quarterly dividend to $1.07 per share, underscoring management’s commitment to shareholder returns. In addition, ONEOK continued to optimize its asset footprint and improve utilization across its integrated network. For investors, ONEOK offers a combination of income potential, infrastructure exposure and long-duration midstream cash flows, while still retaining some cyclicality linked to North American energy activity.
