ONEOK has delivered a powerful run over the past few years, and the latest earnings headlines keep attention firmly on the stock. With the share price now well above where it sat five years ago, the live question is whether that valuation is still grounded in what the business earns.

  • Over the past 5 years, ONEOK has returned 95.1%, which puts real pressure on the current earnings profile to carry that higher market value.
  • Recent earnings outperformance and higher future earnings expectations can support a richer view of what each dollar of profit might be worth, especially as the company leans on scale in natural gas liquids and related volumes.
  • The analysts covering ONEOK have run their own numbers. See what analysts think ONEOK's shares could be worth.

The stock's next move may depend on whether ONEOK's current earnings are strong enough to justify today's price tag.

If you are weighing whether ONEOK's earnings still back up this run, it can help to compare the stock with 30 high quality undervalued stocks as another starting point for research.

Is ONEOK Still Cheap on Earnings?

The P/E ratio is a clean way to see what investors pay for each dollar of ONEOK earnings. On this measure, the stock trades on about 14.9x, which is below the oil and gas sector average of roughly 12.4x yet still under the peer group near 19.4x.

That mix of discount to peers but premium to the sector lines up with the tailored fair multiple, which implies ONEOK is undervalued on earnings rather than stretched. Because management recently lifted 2026 earnings guidance after strong Q3 results, the current P/E suggests the market price has not fully chased that improved outlook in line with similar companies. For a holder, the key question is whether the business can keep converting those profits into cash flow at a level that eventually closes the gap implied by this earnings-based valuation.
