Market Information

This number does not include stockholders whose shares are held in trust by other entities. The actual number of stockholders is greater than the number of holders of record. As of February 17, 2023, there were 226,639,398 shares of common stock outstanding.
Stock Performance Graph
On October 12, 2022, we were added to the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index (the "S&P 500 Index"). We replaced the NYSE Composite Index (the “NYSE Index”) with the S&P 500 Index, as we believe this index is a more relevant benchmark to measure the Company's performance. We have continued to present the NYSE Index in this Annual Report for 2022 as a transitional measure.
The graph below compares the cumulative total return to holders of Targa Resources Corp.’s common stock, the NYSE Index, the S&P 500 Index and the Alerian US Midstream Energy Index (the “AMUS Index”) during the period beginning on December 31, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2022. The performance graph was prepared based on the following assumptions: (i) $100 was invested in our common stock and in each of the indices at the beginning of the period, and (ii) dividends were reinvested on the relevant payment dates. The stock price performance included in this graph is historical and not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.

Our Dividend Policy
