Kinetik Holdings Inc. (KNTK) closed at $50.57 as of 2026-07-31, trading 41.3% above its 200-week moving average of $35.78. The stock is currently moving closer to the line, down from 41.5% last week. The 14-week RSI sits at 58, indicating neutral momentum.
Trading volume is running at 1.1x of its 14-week average, which is in the normal range. The balance between buying and selling volume (1.08 ratio) is neutral — neither side is clearly dominating.
Over the past 354 weeks of data, KNTK has crossed below its 200-week moving average 3 times. On average, these episodes lasted 27 weeks. The average one-year return after crossing below was -79.4%, suggesting these dips have not historically been reliable buying opportunities for this stock.
With a market cap of $8.5 billion, KNTK is a mid-cap stock. Free cash flow yield is currently negative, meaning the company is burning cash. Return on equity stands at 17.5%, a solid level. The stock trades at -2.1x book value.
Share count has increased 40.3% over three years, indicating dilution.
Over the past 6.8 years, a hypothetical investment of $100 in KNTK would have grown to $346, compared to $272 for the S&P 500. That represents an annualized return of 19.9% vs 15.7% for the index — confirming KNTK as a market-beating investment and the kind of quality company where buying during 200-week moving average touches has historically been rewarded.
Free cash flow has been declining at a -42.5% compound annual rate. A deteriorating cash flow trend warrants extra scrutiny — the stock may be cheap for a reason.

Bean Score Experimental
The Bean Score measures how far a stock's free cash flow yield has deviated from its own quarterly baseline, normalized by the stock's historical behavior. Between earnings dates, FCF is constant — so the score is purely a function of stock price. The levels below show at what prices KNTK would reach each dislocation threshold.

| Deep Value | +2σ | $41.27 | Unusually cheap — potential buy zone |

| Fair Value | +0σ | $52.79 | Historical mean behavior |

Signal Accuracy Collecting Data
The Bean Score system is accumulating weekly data to validate signal accuracy. After 13+ weeks of history, this section will display win rates and average returns for each σ threshold crossing — answering the question: "When this score says cheap or expensive, does the price subsequently move in the expected direction?"
Theoretical framework — not backtested or forward-tested. The Bean Score uses trailing twelve-month free cash flow yield as a dislocation identifier. It measures whether the market has pushed a stock's yield unusually far from its own baseline behavior. These levels are reference points for identifying potential swing trade opportunities, not buy/sell signals. FCF values update quarterly with earnings; between reports, all movement is price-driven.
Dislocation Scores Experimental
Each score measures deviation from KNTK's own historical baseline — the same idea as the Bean Score, applied to different fundamentals. Positive means cheaper or more dislocated than this stock's norm. Scores marked σ are normalized by the stock's own variability; pp values are simple deltas from its recent baseline.
Theoretical framework — not backtested. These scores describe how unusual today's readings are for this specific company. They are starting points for research, not buy or sell signals. Annual-statement scores (buyback, accruals, FCF vs history) rest on only ~4 yearly data points and are deltas, not sigmas.
