In Kinder Morgan's case, that would currently equate to about $1.145 per share.

Kinder Morgan's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

However, indirectly, the new 90% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Kinder Morgan stocks, which in turn could have impacted Kinder Morgan's stock price.
