ONEOK Inc. shares fell by 4.05% today, hitting a 20-day low, despite the broader market's positive performance with the Nasdaq-100 up 0.90% and the S&P 500 up 0.64%.
The decline in ONEOK's stock price comes amid the company's recent announcement of a 4% dividend increase, which has attracted income-seeking investors. However, the stock's performance appears to be influenced by sector rotation, as investors may be reallocating funds to other sectors despite the company's strong fundamentals and dividend yield of 5.6%.
This situation highlights the complexities of market dynamics, where even positive company news can be overshadowed by broader market trends. Investors will be watching closely to see if ONEOK can regain momentum in the coming weeks.
Wall Street analysts forecast OKE stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for OKE is 86.00 USD with a low forecast of 75.00 USD and a high forecast of 110.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.

Reason
Jefferies initiated coverage of Oneok with a Hold rating and $80 price target. The Bakken continues to be Oneok's most profitable footprint could be a powerful earnings driver, but weaker crude pricing entering FY26 limits near-term visibility into throughput growth, the analyst tells investors. The firm forecasts about 4% Bakken G&P growth through FY30, but acknowledges downside if WTI remains below $60 per barrel as implied by the current strip.
