Winston Score History

The full picture

ONE Gas is a natural gas utility company. It delivers natural gas through underground pipelines to homes, businesses, and industrial customers across three states: Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas. It owns the Oklahoma Natural Gas, Kansas Gas Service, and Texas Gas Service brands, making it one of the largest standalone natural gas distribution companies in the United States.

The company makes money by charging customers a regulated rate for delivering gas through its pipeline network. Because it operates as a regulated utility, state governments set the prices it can charge, which limits big profit swings but also provides very stable, predictable revenue. ONE Gas serves roughly 2.2 million customers and generates around $2.5 billion in annual revenue. Its main risk is that warmer winters reduce gas demand, and its long-term challenge is the broader energy transition as homes and businesses increasingly consider switching away from natural gas to electric alternatives.
